i’ve been told that it’s a little more difficult to meet people and stay in contact with them at Michigan… which would make sense because if you went to a small school you could meet someone and see them around and recognize them.

and since i don’t plan on joining a sorority, how can i maximize my chance of making friends? join a Michigan Learning Community? (p.s. could someone elaborate on what a MLC is?)

luckily i already know a lot of people who attend u of m and there’s a ton of people in my grade going, but i love meeting new people and hope to establish some lasting friendships! :)

oh and… i read another thread on here that said freshmen/sophomores don’t get into many parties if they’re not involved in the Greek scene. so… how can this be overcome? ha
