Should I know my freshman residence hall by now?

@momneedsguidance - Actually, they recently pushed back freshman registration because the students were getting confused and stressed out while trying to do it over summer break. (I think) there was just such a big disconnect among all the students: spread out all over the world, some on vacation and not at home, some with poor home internet connections, some just confused at the registration process, etc. After much consideration, they decided to move it to orientation so that everyone would be in one place at one time with as much faculty/staff help as they need.

At least, I think that’s how it went down. They went over the change during my peer advising orientation. Regardless, registration is stressful no matter where you are, but I actually think it will be less so on campus. I was really freaked out during my freshman registration because I have such a slow, poor home internet connection. On campus, everyone’s on the same ground (and if something bad happens, you can call the right faculty member or just run on over to their offices for help).
