Top five events for freshmen to look forward to

Starting college is hard. Going to a new school without anyone you know and without the comfort of your family and friends around you is a difficult
transition.

Charleston Southern University provides a myriad of events throughout the year that help you foster community and make new, meaningful relationships that you will carry with you throughout your four years as a student.

Finding community and making new friends can come through taking classes together, being roommates, sharing a dorm, or sitting with someone new at lunch in The Caf. However, community can be found outside the walls of classrooms and eating together.

Charleston Southern University crafts specific events for students to thrive in a new environment and make long-lasting friendships.

The most popular events on campus are our Sweet 16 Events which are on and off campus depending on what the specific event is.

There are also tours and special events for students on campus throughout the semester as well. Whether you prefer to stay on campus or go out on the
town, there are events for you!

One of the events that is specifically catered to the campus community is Bingo for Groceries which is put on by Reslife for students who live on
campus. ResLife will be hosting Bingo for Groceries on Oct. 7 from 7-8 p.m. This event is free of charge and will be in the Dining Hall.

One of our special events on campus is a tour of a few prominent, well- known, popular Christian artists. These events are always sure to draw a
huge crowd!
