Neither one of the schools that my D’s attend offered anything unique, but I would like to pass along some advice from D1 to D2. (D2 was looking at the activities offered during orientation week, and pronouncing some of them “lame”).

D1: “Even if you would never do some of these things under normal circumstances, it’s important that you do them during orientation week. It’s not about the activity, it’s about meeting people and becoming involved. So go play bingo, go to the midnight ice-cream social, go on the scavenger hunt. Nobody thinks that you usually spend your free time at these activities – your are all just doing goofy things to break the ice”
