New Student service/orientation trip?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Alabama

<p>Does U of A offer any type of new student service/orientation trip that occurs before classes begin? I’ve noticed that quite a few colleges offer these type of trips and I’m hoping to find something similar at U of A.</p>

<p>Hi @colomom‌
There are several for honors students. Here’s a link that describes them.</p>

<p>See this link, too: <a href=“http://fye.ua.edu/tcamp.cfm”>http://fye.ua.edu/tcamp.cfm&lt;/a&gt;
The whole “First Year Experience” program is excellent - there are MANY things to become involved with. Have a poke around!</p>

<p>I’m a current freshman and I participated in both Alabama Action and Camp 1831. I highly recommend them to every type of person. Alabama Action was really nice seeing the tuscaloosa area and giving back. Camp 1831 was not nearly as cheesy or lame as I was expecting it to be. It’s a lot of fun if you go in with an open mind. I learned a lot in the two programs. And I am still friends with the people I met during both programs. Definitely try to do something before college. But if you can’t attend either of these, there are plenty of ways to meet friends elsewhere</p>

DS did Outdoor Action. They did some community service (cleaning up at a state park) and a canoe trip. Lots of bonding time with cookouts as well. They stayed in their dorms and met each morning to ride in a van to their work location. Great experience!
