Are you a commuting student looking to make connections on campus? Or a local student eager to meet new friends? 🚶♂️🚗
Whether you're looking to find a study buddy, meet people with similar schedules, or just want to unwind and chat, this mixer is all about building lasting friendships and a strong network.
Being a commuter or local student can sometimes make it challenging to feel fully integrated into university life, but attending events like this can help you become more familiar with our campus, making it feel less like a place you just visit for class and more like a place where you belong!
Mingle with fellow students, share stories about your daily commute or favorite local spots, and form bonds with people who understand the challenges, and perks, of living off-campus in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.📲🔗🤝
Enjoy free refreshments with coffee, tea and soft drinks and snacks, fun icebreakers, and engaging activities designed to help you connect with both commuting and local students alike. 🥤🥨
Looking for a campus tour? We have a commuting and local students tour from 2pm-3pm right before the mixer starts! Find out more here.
Can't wait to see you there!
