The best advice I can give any new student is to get involved! SUNY Oswego has over 150 clubs on campus so it’s easy to find at least one thing you like. Throughout high school I always wanted to do crew (rowing), so when I found out Oswego offered club crew, I jumped all over it. Not only is it a good workout, but you can put it on a resume, and you meet tons of new people. The team became close really fast, and now I have new friends that I probably wouldn’t have met otherwise. If you’re not interested in sports, join a club related to your major (I’m joining American Marketing Association) or something you’re interested in like bowling, creative writing, history, etc. There are also plenty of community service options which will look great on a resume and will help out the community at the same time.
At Oswego there is something for everyone, so go pick something and get involved!
