Orientation is your first glimpse of college. You spend all day there, you hang out with future classmates, you walk all around campus, you eat there, and it’s essentially your first day of college. It is so exciting and scary all at the same time. These are 10 things I definitely wish I had know before orientation at University of Cincinnati!
You’re in a group with a Student Orientation Leader (SOL) and no one in the group knows each other, therefore it’s a tad awkward for you and everyone in the room but don’t let it intimidate you!
You’re going to need those to sign up for classes with your advisor and it you don’t know those you’re not going to start out on the right foot with your advisor.
You’ll get tons of paper and since you’re there all day bring your own water bottle and other minor necessities you would need throughout the day and keep them in your purse or bag.
Make sure your outfit is okay to walk in but ladies its totally understandable to want to dress to impress which is totally reasonable but make sure you choose your comfiest sandals or even converse to sport for the day.
Its summer time so its hot out, like I said you’ll want to dress to impress but you might be sweating off your foundation by the end of the day.
You’ll probably get up at the crack of dawn to get to campus by 8am and you probably won’t eat much before you leave, but you also won’t eat much at orientation. Just a slice of pizza and a cookie so make sure to pack a snack in that bag or purse I told you about.
You’re going to have to choose your classes and you might get stressed but don’t worry because your academic advisor will be right by your side to help and you’ll get through it.
By the end of the day all the walking and information will drain you but stay strong because day 2 isn’t nearly as bad.
You do a fun activity with your group and it isn’t as awkward anymore! You get to see the library and you can go see your dorm!
