"I found this to be my easiest transition yet in the "friends" department. My husband and I have relocated before, and I remember feeling lonely and lost. At the GSB, it was the exact opposite. We almost had too many invitations for social gatherings! It was really reassuring to me that many of the SOs were in the same boat, moving here and not having a pre-established community. Generally speaking, everyone wants to get to know each other and establish a community, so events are not exclusive and the motto is always the more the merrier."
