1) it's known as O-Week (short for orientation week)
2) it is the most fun week at Cornell (besides rush week and senior week).
3) this week is amazing. during the day you get all of your errands done. you will meet people in your OL groups and on your floor. there will also be a ton of daytime events organized by the orientation steering committee (OSC) throughout the day, some are really cool and some are lame. at night time i'd suggest going to the OSC designated event until 10 or 11. you'll meet other freshmen and get free stuff. at 11 you should head to collegetown for parties. 3-4 years ago the streets were PACKED with herds of freshmen but this has calmed down the past few years. as a freshmen you can literally walk into any house (most of these are fraternity annexes) and you can get some beer, highly doubtful you'll get hard liquor. most of the annex will be super crowded unfortunately. this goes on for about 4 days until classes start on thursday. i'd recommend to ask your OL leader which party to go to. usually if you have a cool OL he/she will tell you where to go. overall, it's pretty fun and its a great way to bond. there will be plenty of drunkenness, hookups, laughs, and just an overall good time.
