Transitions can be daunting, and the transition to a university environment can be especially filled with both challenge and reward. This Northwestern Life exists to collect and share some of the many stories of Northwestern students in their personal transitional journeys. It is often easy for us to latch on to dominant narratives of what a "right" Northwestern direction is - through this podcast, we seek to lend real student voices to the broad scope of lived experiences on our campus. From friendships and student organizations to campus activism and the winter blues, we invite you to join your peers as they reflect on both struggles and successes from their first year and beyond.Welcome to This Northwestern Life.
