I would not overemphasize meeting people during orientation, though. Some act like it'll be your only chance at Columbia to make friends...I hardly remember anyone I met at orientation besides my floormates, who I had a reason to stick around with.

<p>very true, at best the people you will meet during orientation will be people you just say hi to in passing and by the time you hit junior year you will probably not even acknowledge them anymore....doesnt mean you should avoid meeting people but dont put too much emphasis on it like columbia2007 said.</p>
