Sometimes Cal can feel a little overwhelming. Make sure that you find your niche - a community of people who will help you feel like this is your home. Whether it's a student group, your residence hall, a support center like the Student Learning Center or the Gender Equity Center, a Greek organization, or just your friends... make sure you have people who help you know that you belong here. Because you do!
