We’ve all heard it before, “UFV’s a commuter campus” and “there’s nothing to do here,” but guess what? You can change that reputation. Yes, you!
For those grumbling about the lack of social life here, I need to ask: have you put in the effort to reach out and engage? If yes and the effort didn’t produce the results you imagined, try again!
I completely understand wanting to go home so you can study, run errands, etc., especially for those of you that live further away, but why not make the most of it while you’re here?
It’s worth inconveniencing yourself once in a while. Stay an hour or two after your class has ended. Grab a coffee, talk to your classmates. Who knows, you could make a friend or find a place on campus that becomes your go-to study spot.
There are a plethora of clubs and associations you can join. If you don’t want to commit to a community, you can attend singular events. Make friends, make acquaintances. Don’t be afraid of trying. None of us will be here forever, but we have to make the time that we have count.
