First round of orientation sessions are over!
It is the day after Independence Day, and that means that most, but not all, freshmen for fall 2008 have come to orientation, where they met with an academic advisor, registered for classes, found out what building they will live in, etc. It is an exciting time as new students and their parents really start bonding with USC. This year we've had many more students attend orientation than last year so far, which is good because we belive orientation is very important. It is the time when final details are addressed and important information is shared. Every new student should attend orientation, and so far about 95% of our incoming freshmen have done so.
But, what if you haven't signed up for orientation yet? There are always a few students that for one reason or another are not able to attend one of the June orientation sessions. What if you are in that 5% minority? Well, don't dispair, we have a final orienation session in August that you will soon be able to register for on our orientation website.
So, get oriented to USC, attend new student orientation. You'll be glad you did!
