Letter to you prospective first year...

Dear friend
Of course you know that the definition of university has a definite connotation of a solid social life. I mean, what is varsity without the famous or maybe notorious side of private life? In fact, one key aspect when you think first year is probably ‘having your own place’. I know I’m speaking your language! Residence life is full of exciting things that will make your first year at varsity worth while and a survival. Don’t need you to make your grades suffer now, just because you are not at home. So for now, make yourself at home, while I take you on a journey of what you can look forward to living in ‘res’:
Remember you are new, and might not know a single soul. Well, it would be wise to find someone, in fact the more the merrier, so make a bunch of friends to hold your hand and trust me, things will seem ten times better plus, you will be making memories. And where else to find these people but in res. So see, res is convenient for making friends. Plus, with the fun-filled functions, which better way to mingle? You also easily find people doing the same course as you, and that means you guys can work together while you are still trying to get the hang of things. Only exclusive to res, is guidance from the house warden and sub-wardens. They don’t play the role of watchdogs, so don’t worry, freedom is still at the centre of things. There is no curfew! And it gets better, you choose from a menu with a wide variety what you want to eat, which means, no such a responsibility as cooking! Yey!
Before the excitement explodes, let me bring you back. All good, res-life is great. For the right reasons, right… When balancing the pros and cons, take it from me, you want to be in res. Its an experience you owe to youself. You need to find your feet first, then only second year I guess you can spread your wings!
Sincerely
Mathilda
