Ep. 8: ways to get involved to maximize your experience + housing options + class workload and how to be smart about it ⠀

⠀⠀

Today on the show I interviewed Rob! Rob is a rising senior at the University of California, Berkeley. He transferred from a community college in Cupertino, California and is originally from Ontario, Canada! ⠀

⠀

On today’s episode, Rob opens up about his experience as a transfer student - the pros, cons, struggles and advantages. He talks to us about ways to get involved in clubs, making friends, asking help but most importantly remembering your ‘WHY.’ ⠀

⠀

Rob knows it’s normal to feel lost/lonely in a completely new environment, and in those times, it’s extremely crucial to remember why you decided to transfer and what you’re ready to gain from your journey. He also talks to us about the importance of study groups and the idea of exploring and NOT simply overloading yourself with classes your first year.⠀

Rob gives us great advice on how to tackle tough situations and what he learned from ‘snakes’ in his school. ⠀

⠀

Even if you're not a transfer student, I highly recommend listening to this episode. Rob gives us SO much value and mentions some key takeaways that we MUST take note of.⠀

⠀

PS -  Rob and I also talk about our experience with the Nigerian Student Association at Cal, so stay tuned to listen to a short, fun story on how I was introduced to the NSA —IN MY DORM……...all it took was that one song! ⠀
