<p>Pretty much everything msant says. But you don’t really need to worry about the new student profile. A lot of people wouldn’t have their profile ready before orientation. I didn’t have a new student profile on file until November of my freshman year.</p>

<p>Oh thanks.</p>

<p>How do the bathrooms work? And, uh, what rez hall do you stay in?</p>

<p>I thought we were staying in Mazenita where they have personal bathrooms?</p>

<p>What exactly is the student night out?</p>

6

<p>yeah you stay in manzanita. the bathrooms are “communal” in the sense that anyone in the hall can use them but they only have one stall and one shower and they lock so they are kind of private if that makes sense.</p>

<p>you choose what you want to do on the night out. i know a lot of people who were tired and went to bed, another handful who walked around iv (haha dont forget to take your orientation name tag off…its like a scarlet letter), and another handful who partied.</p>

<p>@Ryan1119-Thanks for the tip off on the new student profile. I was worried that I would show up without it, and end up having issues. I keep checking, but mine still isn’t ready.</p>

<p>Yeah I decided to go to bed, exhausted and awake for way too long. A lot of people coming back from IV or just being loud outside kept me awake. My room faced IV so, yeah.</p>
