<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>I know that this is really late, but for future generations, as a PENNacler PENNacle people did not go into their own separate clique. There is plenty of interaction outside of the PENNacle group. Also people get together but it’s not ‘clique’-y, people are friendly and open to chatting. As for the best events for meeting people…I made friends with the people in my OPA group…and the art museum, if you know people already and join in their group to meet more people. Really, just be outgoing, put yourself out there, and you’ll be fine.</p>
