Meeting Upper Years
I'm a first year student and I would love to meet some upper year students as well, especially in my rez. However, there doesn't seem to be a lot of opportunities for that. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to meet some upper year people?

Thanks!

Getting involved in things on campus -- clubs, intramurals, IRC, Maroons, faculty society, etc

A lot of the reps I met were through Welcome week events (leading us for events and such) and Horizons. There's also facebook groups and such, for people in the same program as you !
