The University of Findlay was founded as Findlay College more than 130 years ago. Campus
traditions have emerged over decades of experiences shared by our students, faculty, and staff.
These shared experiences are woven together to make all who are here feel like a part of
#OilerNation. Ashley and Kobe share what you need to know about these traditions, and how
we came to be known as the Oilers.

One of the things that separates college from high school is living on campus. When you move
into your residence hall, you’ll want to get to know your residence assistant. RAs are students
who act as a point of contact to help you with any issues you may be having, and help to create
a community within your hall. In this episode, Ashley and Kobe talk with Jillian Banky, an RA who
explains her role and offers advice as you get started in #OilerNation.

Squeeze all your earthly possessions into a single room? Not likely! But Ashley and Kobe speak from experience about what you should bring to your new home in #OilerNation (and some things you should plan to leave behind.)
