ZeeMee
We know that meeting other students and making new friends is a huge part of your college experience. That's why we have partnered with ZeeMee, a social application. Similar to Instagram you will be able to watch videos and posts from other students, introduce yourself, and create smaller communities to get all your questions answered. There is even a roommate matching feature. You will be invited to this platform through text prior to Orientation.
