<p>School is almost starting and im gonna be a freshman and i just wanted to know what your colleges do for welcome week??</p>
<p>Depends on the weather really. If it is good, mine will do a bubble dance (fill a massive pool like thing with bubbles and have at it), picnics, etc.</p>
<p>Block party, amusement park, museums, circus, broadway show, movie night on the lawn, etc. Honestly really psyched as a freshman :)</p>
<p>My school sets up an international food day where the entire student body chills on the main quad eating ethnic-ish food. Then there is a welcomefest concert that night. After that it’s a weekend for whatever you want to do (partying) and then school starts.</p>
<p>For freshmen, we have 40 days of freshmen focused events. The first week has hordes of clubs/res colleges doing free food and free stuff to get freshmen immersed in college life.</p>
<p>For sophomores and up, there’s no love at all… lol.</p>
<p>i think my school has a battle of the halls sporting event. it sounds fun! i cant wait</p>
<p>Lots of “getting to know your classmates” activities. Lots of service (because that’s something our school values deeply). And a foam party! So fun. Nothing like actual school though haha.</p>
<p>Well officially we have upperclassmen leaders assigned to a group of freshman from the same dorm. During the week your leaders take you kayaking, surfing, paintballing, hiking, downtown, to the farmers market…etc. The school puts on tons of presentations, a dance, chances to meet your counselors and so on. Unofficially there are TONS of huge parties that go on during the nights, I think last year they had over 3,500 freshman just wandering the street on the first night. </p>
<p>Overall it was one of the best weeks of my life.</p>
<p>Tons and tons and tons of stuff. The actual school doesn’t have that many school-sponsored events. There’s the Freshman Reading Experience and New Student Convocation and a few other things like First Night Carolina (you learn all of the school cheers and they have lots of different activities like t-shirt and sign making) and Bustle At the Russel (Our student union).</p>
<p>But all of the school’s clubs put on lots of activities. I know churches are really active during Freshman Welcome Week with everything from raves to Wal-Mart runs to bowling.</p>
<p>I don’t think we have any activities really, maybe some clubs have welcome event-type things sometimes but that’s about it. Mostly just everyone parties ridiculously every night and there’ll be a lot of concerts that week and stuff.</p>
<p>most will have different parties/picnics, movies, concerts, get to know each other events, get to know the school, a lot of stuff like that</p>
<p>Hey everyone, </p>
<p>I could not attend new student convocation today 
Can anyone tell me what goes on? What did I miss? The email I got said it was required for new students, do they take attendance or something? Thanks</p>
<p>^Ask your college or school not us.</p>
