What is the A&O (Orientation) like?

<p>Mine is next week and I'm really nervous!
I've also noticed that it is really long too -- like nearly 8 hours (for two days, too)!! I was just wondering what you do in those 8 hours. I mean, aren't we only registering for classes? Or are there other stuff we'll be doing?
And also, around how many people at a typical orientation? Is it usually 200-or-so? </p>
