How did you meet your first friend on campus?
This fall the Class of 2028 arrived on campus, meeting roommates, joining clubs, and forging their first college friendships. We asked you how you met your first friend on campus and were flooded with responses about dormmates and Customs Groups. What did all those stories have in common? In the words of Akilah Abdul-Rahman ’12: “My first friends at BMC have become forever friends.”
