Participate in hall events: Hall events are a great way to meet other students in your residence hall! Most residence halls offer a variety of events throughout the semester so there are plenty of opportunities to meet other students and participate in fun activities such as movie nights or game nights.
-
Get to know your Resident Assistant (RA): Have a question about your residence hall? Need advice? Talk to your RA! Every residence hall has multiple RA’s on staff to assist students and make sure your semester is going well.

Meet your floormates: Another great way to meet other students in your residence hall is by introducing yourself to your floormates! Leaving your door open while you are in your room also creates an open environment for building community among your floormates.
