So I was wondering about USC’s freshman orientation program. I know that a lot of colleges do their freshman orientation the week before school actually starts where they incorporate orientation into freshman week where fun activites, etc are planned for the freshmen. Does USC have a freshman week along with the orientation or is it just the orientation during the summer and then we just move in and start classes just like the sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

Also I was wondering about the dorm situation. I applied for the Birnkrant double but according to what I’ve been hearing I won’t get it since I applied so late. My other top choices were New & North double, Birnkrant triple, and Arts & Humanities double. I applied really late (April 30) so I was wondering if I have any chances of getting my top picks. Also, I heard about New/North being really social and Birnkrant having a good mix of social and quiet, but I was wondering what the Arts & Humanities personailty was.

And then I also read on here that a lot of the students don’t stay on campus on the weekends and how 50% of them go home on the weekends (this was posted in 2004 so it has probably chaned). Does this drain the social life on the weekends or is it just as vibrant with students throughout the week as it is on the weekend.

Thanks.
