How did you find a sense of community and belonging at CHC and UMass? What experiences or resources helped you feel connected and supported?

Attending residence hall events allowed me to connect with other students in my building and feel a sense of community. Additionally, I made an effort to ask if people on my floor or in my classes wanted to study or grab a meal together!

What advice would you give to incoming students?

College can get be busy, so plan out your days! Designate space for studying, meals, club engagements, self-care routines, and things you genuinely enjoy doing!
