How much do you think orientation helped?

I’ll throw my few words in.

I got quite a lot out of orientation, considering my expectations were average at best. Everyone said that it was pretty much a day of busy work that you could have just done online. Okay, I agree with that, because I did not learn anything new while I attended orientation. However, I was able to see the kind of students within my college for the first time. On top of that, I met two new friends that I spent the day with. Prior to orientation I felt kinda strange about leaving my high school safety bubble that I have been sitting in for four years, and post orientation I feel pretty good about going away to college, because there are plenty of very cool and nice people attending. It was a big plus to meet some of the advisors that I will see a lot of for the next years as well, because they were awfully nice.
