In this podcast episode, we break down our top three tips for incoming Wake Forest first-year students when it comes to navigating hookup culture in college. We delve into topics such as sexual geography, consent, and the effects of alcohol in order to provide new college students with the information we wish we’d had. With clips from various anonymous interviewees from across Wake Forest’s campus and supplemental information from books on these subjects, this episode is meant to prepare incoming freshmen for the culture shock that comes with starting college. We hope this doesn’t scare you, but rather informs you on how to navigate the strange new world that is created by the geography of frat basements and dorm rooms and reminds you that ultimately, you are in control of your sexual autonomy.
