Freshman experience; breaking the ice

That also reminds me of a 1-credit course at Adelphi called “Freshman Orientation Experience.” It is a lot like the one at Eckerd, and it lasts some portion of first semester. I’m sure there is social bonding in that group along with the educational benefit.

D is in the Honors College and doesn’t have to take that course, but her HC Hum class is 4 credits and she’s under the impression that they’ll do the “Orientation Experience” material in that extra credit hour. In general being in a freestanding Honors College will be a special learning/social community in itself. I do think these are great, in the same way that I like “house” living.
