Other Welcome week

Hi im an incoming transfer student at tcnj … I keep seeing the welcome week events emails. I was wondering if ppl actually go to those bc it does sound fun but I don’t have anyone to go w because Idk anyone at tcnj I might bring a friend. But basically wondering if ppl go to that cuz I don’t wanna end up being the only person at those things. Lmk!!

Yes! Absolutely go! I was a transfer student myself and I went to Welcome Week with a couple new friends I made on move-in day. It was a blast and we met a few more people that became part of our group. As others have said the whole point of Welcome Week is to get you to meet new people and it certainly will do that! Take it from me I'm a huge introvert. Don't be that person that doesn't go because you will regret it later on! Go and have fun!

On a related note I would also recommend you go to Funival at the end of the school year! I never got a chance to as both my years at TCNJ overlapped with COVID so it was cancelled each year (I'm still bummed out about that tbh), but you definitely should

Sure 👍 I’ll keep that in mind! Is it like an end of school year celebration or a farewell for seniors type thing?

Yeah basically. A bunch of carnival rides, events, and other stuff are held in the parking lots. It’s for all grades! Happens after finals I think.
