Admissions

If you are coming to SNU, it is a great idea to try to make connections before you even arrive for orientation. If you can find out who your roommate is beforehand, try to get to know each other during the summer. Having a friend there already helps you find a place to anchor in as classes start.

Talk to other students from SNU about their experiences. Ask them about the best places to study--library, laundry room, dorm-- the best places for coffee--Pop's Lounge, Cuppies and Joe's--and the different peculiarities of your future profs. Listen to the students who have been there, caught the squirrel, released it on the fourth floor of the men's dorm, and gotten in a load of trouble.

Learn how to take basic care of yourself before you get here. Learn how to do your own laundry and not turn everything pink. Learn how to eat healthily. Be sure you really believe what you believe is really real before you are confronted with dozens of people who do not think it is.

Definitely to live on campus. If I hadn't lived on campus this semester I probably wouldn't have met half the people I did. You get to participate in so much more, with your dorm, your hall, and just room mates.
