Tip #3-Pre-Orientation

If you are lucky enough to attend a school that offers "pre-orientation" activities, then take advantage of them! These activities can include everything from going on a camping trip to volunteering somewhere with a group of other incoming freshmen. These trips give participants the chance to bond with fellow freshmen before regular orientation begins, this way students arrive on campus with a network of friends, which ameliorates at least a bit of the stress of adjusting to this new stage of life.
