Answer
Orientation Week (O-week) is a great time to make connections because new students are ready and excited to form new friendships. Going to events (concerts, the first-year festival, etc.) was a perfect way to begin forming my college community. Engaging with people in my dorms and during my first few weeks at Cornell helped me connect with many people from different majors and class years.
Question
How did you find your friends and community at Cornell?
