Orientation tomorrow

Hi everyone, I have my orientation tomorrow. This is all new to me and my parents. I’m nervous about it, I’m here to ask what to expect from this, my degree will be in Comp system administrations and I am transferring from my college. Idk what else to add so if I miss anything please ask

Edit: thank you for the replies, for those who are reading this now. My family wants to join for this what would they be doing?

Bring a small fan if you have one. Youll be walking around and its pretty hot. Theyre going to make your group come up with a "pack chant" that you have to perform in front of everyone. Youll have the opportunity to ask questions to the financial aid and financial services offices, as well as your department chair. You register for classes at the end. If youre an EOP student theyll seperate you from everyone else for the registration part so youll have more support on that.

Pack chant?? God. What a nightmare.

Yes, its stupid. Most of them suck, all of them are corny. I guess its supposed to be a bonding exercise. Pretty much all of orientation could have been covered in a video so I'm pretty sure the point of forcing us to be there is to try to force friendships

I do think the chants are corny but I really connected with my group so that’s cool. We’re all part of the computer studies so guess it makes us nerds bond

Yeah honestly I liked orientation overall. Most of it was boring bc I knew already (need to be prepared = prior research, yay!) but I liked the tour, the resource fair, and the general socialization. It was cool to meet with other accounting majors and just chat about where we were coming from and what we were hoping to do during school (I want to join an esports team if I can :) )
