<p>To anyone who has experienced Penn NSO,</p>

<p>Can you reflect on your own, personal experience with NSO? I really am curious as to what it will be like, especially considering it's only a few days away!</p>

<p>Specifically, what are the events that are best for meeting people? Once you move in, and your parents are still kinda awkwardly there, then what? I find the schedule on Penn's website a bit vague to really answer this question...</p>

<p>When you get there, do people already kind of know their clique?</p>

<p>I know this sounds so paranoid and stupid, but I just kind of fear that I will not have anyone to go to the events with and stuff...Don't get me wrong, I already know a decent amount of people in the freshman class, but it's not as if I'm super super duper close with anyone yet...I didn't get to do PennQuest or any of that stuff =(</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>don’t worry about the fear of not having anyone to go with. You will make tons of friends going to those events during the day and you will make even more friends during the various events that occur at night. NSO is also exactly what you make of it, you can go out and skip the day events, go to all the day events and skip going out, but as long as you find that group of people that you get comfortable with you’ll be fine. </p>

<p>The pennquest people will all already know each other, but that doesn’t mean they are going to ‘clique’ off and ignore other people.</p>
