U and I Care: Community Support
Build a social support system- Living apart from families and childhood friends can feel lonely at times. And, it can sometimes be difficult to feel comfortable in a new community. Take comfort in the fact that you’re not alone! Forming relationships with peers in your classes can help create a sense of community support for one another. Social support can also extend past your own relationships; Learning about the resources and initiatives that your communities (UIC, your town, and your neighborhood!) have created to support one another can be a way to get involved, receive resources, and be a part of a support system. UIC has a plethora of options for support, wellness, and student involvement!
