getting involved

<p>I got to know my h.s only by my junior year, probably.
When you are a freshman, you don’t even know where the college office is, or any special activities that you can participate in. Well, I got into NYU and I don’t want for the same thing to happen there. I want to know the kinds of activities there are, presentations/meetings/all that stuff. I really don’t want to miss out on things simply b/c I’ll be a lost freshman. Do any of you have any ideas or plan to do anything outside the classroom?
I am talking about such stuff as: research (similar to H.S Intel, or Federal Challenge) plays, organizations? Let me know, please.
thanks. :)</p>
