Four of the most exciting years of your life are finally beginning, so it is important to keep a few things in mind to make the best of your journey at Suffolk.

In addition to utilizing campus space, get involved in the Suffolk community. Find a student club focused on something you have a passion for or join one to try something you wouldn’t think you’d ever be interested in — you may find an unexpected passion.

Also know that everyone on campus, from the Interfaith Center to your philosophy professor, wants to see you succeed.
