<p>What was orientationl like, what was fun about it and what was boring about it?? Oh and what are theain things you need to bring with u for orientation??</p>
<p>Oh gosh, my orientation was so long ago, I don’t remember it really well. I believe we met at the Cole Student activities building where we signed in and received some goodies and free breakfast. We also had a few welcoming speeches by the faculty and students. I believe one student made a speech about his sole reason for choosing UMD was for their chocolate milk. Lol. Anyways, they explained how our day would be. I believe we first split up into our assigned colleges, mine was ARHU. We went to a classroom where we got to know each other. We were then taken on a tour around campus together. Later, we were all given individual schedules to meet the heads of the department for our major. Since my major was Japanese, I went to meet Mr. Ramsey at Jimenez. Afterwards, I was free to do whatever.</p>
<p>And that’s all I remember. I may be missing some things. You know, you have a chance to stay a night in a dorm the night before the orientation. You have to register for it early to ensure a spot. I was too late so I couldn’t do it.</p>
<p>Welcome to UMD! </p>
<p>Oh wow thanx. How long was the orientation an when do u start school</p>
<p>@bishopgurl, what orientation date are you signed up for?</p>
<p>@marversity I’m going to 12 grade</p>
<p>Why are you asking about orientation, then?</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with asking questions about college </p>
<p>:-@ </p>
<p>There isn’t, but there’s no point asking now. Orientation itineraries could change. Plus, colleges inform you of pretty much everything for orientation (what to bring, what you’ll do, etc.) … once your orientation date is actually near (which it isn’t). </p>
<p>I personally had fun at my orientation. </p>
<p>:-@ u people r rude. I was just wanted to know about orientation thats all…</p>
<p>Sorry if that came out as being snarky. You just have senior year to look forward to. You still have to get accepted to schools, as well. </p>
<p>Ok</p>

<p>Thank u</p>
<p>The orientation took half the day I believe. I did the orientation back in February 2011. I’m a Junior at the University right now, so I’ve been here for awhile.</p>
<p>Did u make a lot of new friends at orientation??</p>
<p>My orientation was an overnight orientation. 8 am one day until 2:30 the next day. I definitely made friends (I’m from out-of-state, so I didn’t know anyone in the first place like some people would). </p>
