<p>There probably aren't many current students hanging out around on here but I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm transferring in the middle of my sophomore year and was wondering if anyone had any tips about getting around campus? I'm planning on rushing but I don't want my only friends to be in greek life so I was planning on joining a club but on top of work I don't know if that'd be too much. So maybe alternate ways of meeting people? I was told that I'll get on campus housing but haven't been told where yet so if anyone knows what the likelihood of me getting a certain type of room, section on campus etc. If anyone knows what the majority of dorms look like too that'd be stellar because I was getting much info about that and didn't get time to visit. Anyone that has even a minimal amount of info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!</p>
<p>Can’t speak to on campus housing since I commute (transferred in fall 2013), but most of it is located on the south and west of academic buildings. If you’re a humanities major south side is best, natural sciences or engineering west from a strictly walking optimization standpoint. Greek houses are to the south east of campus. </p>
<p>Greek life involves a lot of time if you’re active in your particular chapter (which is kind of the point). I can tell you as initiation chair for the engineering honor society that I can count on one hand the number of members who are also in a traditional social fraternity/sorority. </p>
<p>One last thing, as a general tip, learn to utilize the busses on campus. They’ll get you places such as stamp quickly and run fairly frequently.</p>
<p>Thank for the tips! I’m not sure what major I’ll be yet or even what classes. I’m trying to transfer into an LEP major so I don’t even know how that even works. The bus system definitely seemed a little more complicated than I’m used to so I’ll make sure to try to get familiar with it. At my old school we had a max of maybe 5 actually useful routes?</p>
