<p>This is my first quarter at the UW and I am so freaked out. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to survive the first quarter? I don’t have any friends on campus so I feel a bit like I am floating about and I am overwhelmed by the vast number of students and my lack of knowledge of places to seclude myself. So far I have found Odegaard library’s study area to be the best place. Not only that but I am a math major and feel like I am going to implode just from those courses. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>awwh… you’ll do just fine.
Make friends with the person sitting next to you, or someone in your quiz section.</p>
<p>The campus will feel alot smaller, quickly. I only transferred in last winter, and I’m always running into someone I know.</p>
<p>Personally, I find odegaard to be the perfect fresh/soph place to hang out…so you may be comfortable there, but I by no means think it’s the quietest. It’s probally the noisiest library I’ve ever been to (speedsolver may disagree though). I like going to the Suzzallo/Allen.</p>
<p>If you want somewhere DEAD quiet, go to the Reading room…it’s up the staircase in the suzzallo…no talking/noises aloud.</p>
<p>Get involved – find a club you like and join – [RSO</a> Directory : Student Activities Office](<a href=“Student Activities | The HUB”>Student Activities | The HUB)</p>

<p>Are you in the dorms? I think all of the dorms have study rooms – I like going there better than trekking all the way to the library.</p>
