I'm a freshman at NYU and just moved into my dorm. I wasn't prepared for how overwhelming and scary my first few days would be.

• I just moved into my dorm at New York University as a freshman. 
• Unpacking was stressful, but it was great to connect with my new roommates.
• The first few days were overwhelming as I adjusted to city life.

After an eight-hour car ride from Toronto to New York City, my dad and I arrived at New York University's campus — my new home for the next four years.
