<p>Haha I had to ask :)</p>
<p>Other schools have been giving out stuff in the mail to their admitted students. I was just wondering whether we get like a t-shirt or bumper sticker or something.</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>I remember getting some sort of bumper sticker...I think. But I was admitted in December 2002...</p>
<p>i don't know what the college/seas give out, if anything, but trust me -- you'll be inundated with all sorts of swag in the fall of you decide to come here. specifically, enough free t-shirts (used as incentives to get people to show up for stuff -- like midnight mania, certain football games, and now, the 40 on 40 picnic) to keep your cars shiny for at least the next 30 years.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, they hand out a bunch of stuff at orientation. A dorky sack with NSOP's logo on it, filled with stuff like a free New York guidebook. </p>
<p>The alumni also give you a free Iliad at some point. </p>
<p>Of course, all of this comes only when you decide to attend...</p>
<p>if you come to days on campus you get a free t-shirt :P</p>
<p>I got a bumper sticker in the package in December so I'm guessing that you should be getting the same. Oh, and I also got a bill for $49,666 too.</p>
<p>07, will that Iliad come through the mail or do I have to go to an alum's house and dance for it?</p>
<p>oh snap are you serious? free shirt if we go to DoC? I'm more excited than ever.</p>
<p>you get the iliad (or the team developer if you're SEAS) if you go to a......cant remember what the hell they are called....sure someone will answer here</p>
<p>This is what I managed to scrounge up:</p>
<p>A few examples will give you the flavor of the programs. Prior to coming to campus, entering students are invited to academic planning and advising sessions at which alumni welcome them and their parents into the Columbia community by handing them a gift of The Iliad, the first reading assignment in Literature Humanities.</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>One of the more important aspects of the return to Columbia each year is the arrival of a new class of 1,000-plus students (this year, the Class of 2010). Many of these new students will have participated in summer advising and orientation sessions, where they received a copy of The Iliad from an alumnus/na as a gift from the Columbia College Alumni Association.</p>
<p>that's it...advising sessions...</p>
<p>they go on at days on campus, random times during the summer, and orientation so there are plenty of times to get it</p>
