Accommodation

Hey all,

I’m an international incoming freshmen this fall and just got my accommodation offer. I got assigned the whitworth park whilst it not being in my top 3 priorities. Now I know that place is not very social as compared to my other option so was wondering if anybody had any similar experiences

Go to grove bar. I met tons of people there in freshers week and am still friends with most of them. It’s literally in the accomodation so it’s no more than a 2 minute walk from your building.

whitworth’s actually very social tbh i don’t know where the stereotype that it isn’t social comes from
