When I started at OSU I was 400 miles from home (out-of-state student) and didn't know anyone in Columbus. I lived in Morrill Tower, but joined a fraternity and instantly had connections to upperclassmen in my major, intramural athletics, and social contacts, both male and female. I moved into the fraternity house my sophomore year and lived there until I graduated. If I hadn't gotten involved, I might not have wanted to continue at OSU, but there were so many things to do and people to become friends with, that it was a great environment for a shy guy from the east coast. Perhaps Karli didn't get involved?
