<p>What kind of "activities" are planned for orientation?</p>
<p>Meetings with the undergrad advisors. Information sessions about requirements for certain career paths, undergrad research opportunities and a variety of other topics. Mandatory hall meetings to talk about things like dorm rules, drinking, date rape, how to get along with your roommate, how to access student health services. Organized games and inter dorm sports competitions. Picnics. Campus tours. Each floor/RA will have some special group activities planned–like going out to try a garbage plate.</p>
<p>Plus plenty of time to just hang out, meet people, get your room set up and figure out where your classrooms are.</p>
<p>Ah. Thank you WayOutWestMom! You always know how to clear up the details!
I am very excited for orientation!</p>
<p>There is also a day devoted to community service.</p>
