<p>Today is the last day to sign up for USC Hillel's Freshfest! What is Freshfest?</p>
<p>USC Hillels FreshFest is the school's overnight retreat for incoming Jewish students. Its a unique opportunity to get acclimated to campus life. Join us and begin making friends before the rest of the student body even arrives! 16 Hillel FreshFest group leaders will introduce you to USC and to your newest friends!</p>
<p>After lunch and a welcome program at USC Hillel on Monday, students will travel to the beautiful Brandeis-Bardin Institute in the Simi Valley, where we will take advantage of the camp's incredible outdoor facilities.</p>
<p>At USC Hillel FreshFest, roughly 90 other Jewish students are waiting to be your new USC friends! It's great to know so many people during those first few days. Your FreshFest friends are destined to be some of your closest friends through out your four years at SC. We hope you'll join USC Hillel for this unforgettable experience!</p>
<p>**The above was taken from the website, but honestly Freshfest is a great way to meet fellow students and be able to come into school with some friends. It's great to walk into EVK your first day and see familiar faces :) Also, older students are the counselors so it's a great way to get to know older students/get their answers to any lingering questions you may have!!</p>
