Why Calgary and the U of C
Both of my parents are U of C alumni, my grandparents live in Calgary and I know quite a few people up here so coming “home” was an obvious choice for me.
Get Involved
The absolute best thing to do, as a freshman, is to be open to new clubs and activities. The best way to meet new people is to participate in the many offered activities, clubs, and volunteering opportunities around campus.
Azan’s Advice
Stick around school after class time.
More often than not, you will find fellow class mates to study and hang out with.
The library isn’t just a place for books.
With many electronic resources, the library holds the answers for many questions you might stumble upon during your university career.
Use paper and pencil.
Some times paper and pencil are a much better option than a computer. The internet is the worst distraction in the classroom, and paper can help clear the mind and assist you in learning much more efficiently.
Talk to your professors.
Meet your professors during their office hours, it might be a little bit awkward at first, but they can help you with everything you need.
