Dominique recommends:

• Go to a Museum
  I love going to art museums. Keep an eye out for unique exhibits and go see them while they’re in town. Art helps give you a different perspective on things.
• Make Friends the First Week of School
  It’s a lot easier to make friends the first week of school than it is later on in the semester. Walk around your residence hall to get to know the people living near you. Go to all the activities the school hosts, too.
• Academic Advising and Writing Center
  I go to my academic advisor a lot to make sure I’m on the right track with my major. I’ve used the Writing Center for a couple of essays.
• Visions and Voices
  Go to all the Visions and Voices programs, even if it doesn’t pertain to your major. It’s a good way to meet experts in other fields.
• Toast Bakery Café
  It’s a great place to get high quality food that isn’t too expensive. It’s near the Beverly Center, so you can go before shopping or seeing a movie.
