8. Adds to your personal brand that you want to relay to people in University.
9. You can have a spot to hang out on campus and study if you do not want to go home or residence.
10. Life long memories (Especially if you go to Social Orientation aka Frosh Week)! :)
TADA!! I know I really appreciate everything clubs and organizations have offered me while I have been at York University, let's see if the same happens for you! Do not know where to start? I can help you try and figure that out! :)

Advice...Take it or Leave it (I suggest the first option though ;)!)
I am going to be 100% honest and let you know that my enrolment appointment when I first came to York University was a pretty terrible experience. I felt like breaking down after the session I had just completed...it was all because I did not ask for assistance! Something you should really keep in mind while attending University is that asking questions is always the best idea! :)
I was recently talking to a few Professors at York University and they had wished that students actually took the time and effort to discuss some of the topics from class. They said that they learned a lot from the students when they engaged in discussion. It is a great feeling creating a mutual learning relationship, especially when that relationship is between you and your professors!! It is a super rewarding experience!!
So my main point is...just ask for help!! That was my main mistake from my enrolment appointment and my first year, so learn from my mistakes and ASK A QUESTION!
*Do not be this girl (p.s. that is me on the left), she did not ask for help in first year! :(*
I promised you a RED Zone Ambassador Tip in all of my blogs, here is Monika's (http://monikaredzone.blogspot.ca/)!
1. Plan to arrive early (in case you get lost).
2. Introduce yourself to your professors and teaching assistances.
