As the BGSU Welcome Crew finalizes the details in preparation for Fall 2023, there is a lot of anticipation for what’s to come. Whether you’re the first in your family to attend college or have siblings who have already embarked on this journey, it’s natural to feel a range of emotions, from excitement to anxiety. However, one thing is guaranteed – your time at BGSU will be full of new experiences, friendships and endless opportunities for personal growth.

1. Finding your community at BGSU is an essential part of making the most out of your college experience. With over 300 student organizations, there’s a group for every interest, from social justice to gaming clubs.

2. Campus Dining gets an exciting addition with the return of this BGSU classic. Kreischer Late Night is now the Sundial, with a new look serving old favorites. There’s something for every taste bud serving all students for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don’t forget to try the signature Falcon favorites. 🤤
   
   

3. College can be a challenging time. That’s why, as a public university for the public good, we prioritize well-being and belonging through the BGSU Community of Care initiative. BGSU has resources like the Counseling Center which offers free services to students and the Falcon Health Center which provides medical services. Don’t hesitate to reach out for support if you need it. 
   
   
4. BGSU values the safety and well-being of all students. The See It. Hear It. Report It. form is a tool to report concerning or suspicious behavior to campus authorities. It's essential to look out for each other and report anything that feels off.
   
   
5. Whether you're living on campus or commuting from home, BGSU has resources to support your experience.

6. As you immerse yourself in campus life, take some time to learn about the rich history of BGSU traditions. SICSIC, the Birds, wearing orange and brown on Falcon Fridays and always walking to the right of the seal are just a few of the traditions that make BGSU unique. Don't be afraid to ask upperclassmen or attend campus events to learn more about these traditions.
