Why advice do you have for making the most of your first year at BU?

” I would encourage freshman to put themselves out there in order to create a community for themselves. It is so easy to sit in a lecture and not speak to the person next to you, but even simply saying hi and introducing yourself can allow you to make connections. Reaching out to people around you is one of the easiest ways to make friends throughout your first few weeks.”
