A bit extreme, still relatable

Good jobs for introverts? So over consulting.

Make it work for you. Connect with friends and people with similar interests. But take breaks when you need to. Head back to your room, go for a run, whatever. There’s this constant pressure to network, but you can set limits that work for you
I HATE DU. No amount of free food or "awesome" amenities will make me ever want to go back there.
I love DU. A room right where I am working that I can hide in when not in class. Grab and go food.
That place is like a jail compound. I used to just lock myself in my room and cry the majority of the day until we could leave.
I actually prefer the “forced” networking when they put you in in groups vs the free for all time at the barn when I eat alone for 20 minutes then walk back to my room
Do you have a list of questions to ask people? Yes, The Barn is a "great networking experience 🙄", but there are the small pop-up hangouts that appear in the hallways next to the Sbux kiosks... they play card games etc. and they are usually the coaches or peer leads.
if you do venture to The Barn, dont look at the whole crowd! just pick a person that you've seen before and start in on your question list... it will work out in the end. Good luck!
Hopefully it gets better for you
I used to love DU earlier when I had a group of friends I could go with to events and head back early to the room. Last week I chose to skip some networking events and ate lunch in my room to get a break from it all
