Starting at Michigan this fall? πŸ’™γ€½οΈ

Hear from our student staff member Cynthia as she shares some of her advice for new students β€” from getting involved on campus and meeting new people to giving yourself time to adjust and find your place at U-M.

Your first semester can feel like a lot, but you don’t have to have everything figured out right away. Try new things, ask questions, and make the most of the people and opportunities around you!
