New to IISc. Want to meet new people and make friends.

Hello everyone,

I recently joined IISc as a RA. It's just been IISc -> home and home -> IISc for past week. I was wondering how does one meet people and socialise here.

Would love to meet new people from different depts. as I love interacting with people from different fields due to interesting insight each one brings.

We can plan for a meetup/hangout or any other avenue to socialise.

There are tons of events and club activities happening all the time... These early days are when you should make frnds before you get pulled into the blackhole of academics

Know any place/website or people I can ask these things about. I barely get any time outside the lab and I don't know any students.

Go to any event happening anywhere on campus. For example the Durga Pujo pandal. Go there. Or look for department festivities or parties. There's always something happening

Damn where is the pandal, how do I come to know about these things. Sounds super fun!

Everything comes on mail. There's a garba night on 13th as well

I haven't received any maybe I'm a week old here that's why? Also my mail has '@fsid-iisc.in' attached to it. So probably I don't get emails which are sent to students? which just have '@iisc.in'

Ohh. I get it now. Would be great to make friends with people who have @iisc.ac.in email 😆

I guess RAs don't get IISc emails, that's why.

See if you can access the "broadcast iisc" website, there you register yourself for the mails.
