<p>I am wondering what if any is the difference between transfer and first-year's experiences for starting off the school year. For instance are transfers fully included in the pre-orientation and orientation events. Any insight would be welcome.</p>
<p>I don't think transfers or ADAs are included in pre-O, but they are included in all of the orientation activities and are part of the group that are "mentored" by the Head of New Students (HONS) in each house.</p>
<p>Bridge is the only pre-orientation program that accepts transfers. To be invited to participate, you have to come from a "traditionally underrepresented population" (read: minority group).</p>
