<p>I am a new student to 'SC, a junior-level transfer from a CC. I have made the decision to not live on campus or near campus as I have it "good" with my parents, living just 20 min away.</p>

<p>However, I understand that fully 50-70% of social interaction and involvement on campus comes from living in the dorms/apartments, joining a fraternity, sports/band, or another major commitment that I would not be a part of.</p>

<p>Any recommendations on how I can get involved? </p>

<p>Talking to people on campus, I also realize that most Juniors and Seniors have become more concerned with finding internships and careers than with having a college experience. With that said, I have the possibility of scheduling all my classes on T/Th only, whereas I am now on campus 4 days per week. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any insights and advice.</p>

<p>Fight On!</p>

<p>There are tons of student organizations on campus. There has to be at least a few that interest you. I’ve found that that clubs are a great way to meet people with similar interests if you’re looking to make new friends.</p>

<p>How about joining a group that is service oriented? If you are living at home that gives you some extra time.</p>

<p>There are so many people in need. SC has various groups whose purpose is to assist others. Perhaps you might find friends in one of those organizations.</p>
