Your college journey is an exciting time to discover who you are and who you want to be in the future. The best way to do so is by stepping out of your comfort zone – join a club, give back or travel the world.
3. Experience Living in a Dorm – Living in the dorms is a new and exciting adventure. You’ll get to meet tons of new friends, experience independence and finally put your new comforter or gaming chair into action. Check out the freshman’s guide to packing for college to make sure you’ve got the essentials.
4. ALT Kick Off – After you’re settled into your dorm room, you’ll spend the afternoon with fellow classmates in the Advanced Learning Term. Designed as the second half to Orientation and start of your new classes, you’ll connect with new friends and faculty and staff mentors while learning about balancing athletics and academics, budgeting, campus life opportunities, managing stress, being successful and much more. It’s important, but also active and unique.
5. Have fun! – It might sound cliché, but Move-In Day is a ton of fun. It’s a time to celebrate your choice to further your education and all of the new experiences you’ll have over the next four years. Plus, Welcome Week events begin the same day, so you’re sure to start creating incredible memories right away.
