Fla. “Every one here has been really accom modati ng." Berg said that for him, the Qut of-State Student Association has been the most helpful group. OSSA, the largest group for out -of-state students at UNC, was founded in 2001 to help students from around the world become better acclimated to life at the University, as well as to advocate for them on issues such as rising tuition costs. “Most out-of-state students don’t know anyone here, and we just want to help them out," said OSSA president Alison Savignano. “VV’e want to help them out from the first day on." The group gets a dialogue going early as they contact incoming out-of-state students the summer before they start classes at UNC. “It helps get them acclimated, and we can answer any questions they have." Savignano said. The group also offers shuttle ser vices to the airport on the first day of fall. Thanksgiving and spring breaks. m <*“** f&Kc-tt Warm weather is here and the livin’ is easy. Unwind and ease into the weekend with live bluegrass music, cool drinks, good food and plenty of shade. Bands in the Lineup Include: ♦ Big Fat Gap ♦ ♦ Black Swamp BootLeggers ♦ ♦ The Cadillac Stepbacks ♦ ♦ Tony Williams ♦ ♦ Gray Boys ♦ CAROLINAINN.COM On breaks for which the group doesn’t offer shuttle services, they help get out-of-staters in contact with others who are driving to the airport via their Web site’s message board, called rideboard. “That helps out, especially as a freshman, because you may not understand the Triangle bus routes,” Berg said. The university also offers pro grams that cater to out-of-state students through its Office of New Student and Carolina Parent Programs. One additional service UNC offers is that residence halls stay open during Fall Break so that out-of-staters don’t have to make an additional trip home. But some out-of-state students say their greatest assets have been the friends thev made while at UNC. “Never be afraid to ask vour WOOD FIRED 9I2XA CHAPEL HILLS BEST PATIO DINING 24 BEERS ON TAP 9 14 WINES BY THE CLASS ® _ , 1 CHAPEL HILLS BEST PATIO ° 1™ IX *4U 1- MONDAYS - U $l5O DOMESTIC \ MICRO*REWS ON TAP I' W WEDNESDAYS ZT\ 1 TWO FOR ONE PIZZA 4 " ' > APPETIZER FROM IQPM-lAM THURSDAYS $230 IMPORTS ON TAP SUNDAYS BOTTLES Of WINE 1/2 PRICE OPEN LATE NIGHT PARK AND RIDE TO GAMES 501 MEADOWMONT VILLAGE CIRCLE CHAPEL HILL 919.929.1942 • WWW.BRIXXPIZZA.COM MON SAT 11 AM to 1 AM SUNDAY 11 AM to 11 PM Starts April 25th Fridays s:oopm Live Bluegrass Music Beer & Wine Specials Southern Picnic Menu Y*all Ought to Stop By! SUMMER ’OB friends for help." Berg said. “You might stay at a friend’s house for the night if your flight isn't leaving until the next day." Berg said that the best advice for incoming out-of-state students is to make friends early. “In the first few weeks try to meet people and make new friends,* he said. "Though you may only hang with only a few of them regularly, its still important to have acquaintances for the rest of vour time here.’ Berg added that it does not take long to build relationships that last through college and after gradua tion. “You can come in here hav ing no friends, and now I have a ! whole group of amazing friends," he said. “Coming in, it’s not so much a problem as it is an inconvenience for a little bit." 19
