Social life for Freshman living off-campus?

[pberthe]

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>McGill Rez is unfortunately super expensive and I was wondering whether it could be another possibility to live off campus. Yet, as I'm an Int. Student, I would come from far away and wouldn't know much of anyone! </p>

<p>I've found a big room in a beautiful house not too far away from campus for half the price of Rez but what worries me is what social life will I have living on my own? Will I still make new friends quickly? Will I be included in social events?</p>

<p>I'm just worried about feeling too lonely by myself.. if any person who was in my situation in the past could comment it'd be nice:)</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Join the Off-Campus Fellow Program (<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/students/housing/offcampus/fellows”>http://www.mcgill.ca/students/housing/offcampus/fellows&lt;/a&gt;) - it’s a program for all first-year students living off-campus. They hold a lot of events during the year so you’ll be able to find folks that are in a similar boat as you. </p>

<p>Also join a few clubs(<a href=“http://ssmu.mcgill.ca/clubs-services/about-clubs/clubs/”>http://ssmu.mcgill.ca/clubs-services/about-clubs/clubs/&lt;/a&gt;) or organizations (like TVMcGill, McGill Daily, etc.). Always found those avenues the best way to meet people.</p>
