Freshman orientation is a flood of emotions. You’re excited because this is the first real step to the beginning of your college career at UD, but that also terrifies you. Here are 10 things I wish I knew before orientation at University of Delaware that may help ease your stress!
You will be walking a lot.
You’ll be meeting tons of new people, classmates, professors, and upperclassmen.
Free parking is only at the Trabant and lunch is there too. Also, don’t forget to pick up your free t-shirts at the various bookstores. I ended up going home with 3 t-shirts.
Everyone feels the same way as you. Uncomfortable and awkward. Some people are from Delaware where others are from California.
This allows you to have freedom without your parents next to you the whole time.
This could happen at any time during your day. If you cared like I did, you’ll want to freshen up in the bathroom before hand. This will be your ID card for the next 4 years.
There is a specific due date. Make sure you do it.
This is all you’ll need but it makes it easier getting your ID card.
This will be a great time to meet up.
