What is it like being Orientation leader?

<p>Things like how many hours did you work during the sessions?</p>

<p>I hear that Orientation leaders have to stay in Pentland hills, if so then in double occupancy rooms?</p>

<p>What did you do when you weren't around personnel or orientation visitors?</p>

<p>Was it worth it working in the summer as a leader?</p>

<p>Any other details?</p>

<p>Why don’t you ask an actual orientation leader or the UCR office that actually employs them? Will they be on College Confidential? Prob not. Common sense here.</p>

<p>I was actually in the process of becoming an orientation leader last school year. But I dropped because training was like an extra class. Keep in mind that training takes place every Thursday evening for spring quarter during the evening. From what I remember:</p>

<ol>
<li>Basically the entire time that the new students are there. A session lasts from about 9 am on day 1 until 5 pm on day 2. You don’t work every session though, it usually depends on your major.</li>
<li>Orientation leaders stay in Pentland doubles. There wouldn’t be enough single rooms to go around.</li>
<li>No idea.</li>
<li>Can’t answer that personally, but from what I’ve heard it’s an amazing experience. Made me regret dropping.</li>
</ol>

<p>I hope I helped a little bit but I really suggest you speak with someone who was actually an orientation leader. They will have all of the information you need.</p>
