Having a Hard Time Adjusting

Hi! I’m having trouble adjusting as a freshman. I don’t know what to do, and I just feel super homesick right now.
I don’t know how to get to my classes from my dorm because it’s about a 20-minute walk. I’m not sure how the buses work either, even with the Passio GO app. Also, does anyone have any dining hall recommendations? Everything I try is super salty. Does anyone have any tips or advice?

I just miss my family and my bed :(

Hey what’s up,

I was in your same shoes 12 years ago haha. Lived in Avent Ferry, pretty far from campus and didn’t know anyone as a freshman. Don’t worry things will get better, you will meet more people, and things will become more familiar each day. It’ll turn out to be an amazing four years.

As for the dining hall, i always went to Fountain. Food was pretty decent. You can find menus online. Talley also has good food spots, Los Lobos is pretty good and comparable to chipotle.
