Campus Communities
Arriving on campus for the first time can be daunting, but awaiting each Fresher is the opportunity for new friendships, new experiences and a new community. Avenue intern William Lim, now a fourth-year student, recalls where he first found his campus community.
"To me community means belonging and I found this in the Viking Society. It’s easy to get along with those who enjoy the same history and activities as you. From discussing old battlefield tactics to trying them out on the re-enactment field, I always felt that I belonged in the Viking Society. It seems strange to think that sharpening an axe could turn into friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime. But it’s not just the Viking Society that creates a tight-knit student community. I’ll let my fellow students tell you more."
