Summer Pre-freshman Orientation - how common?

<p>Yup, had a pre-freshman orientation at UC Irvine. It’s kinda mandatory to go unless you’re out of the country or something. We get to stay in one of the dorms for a night, register for classes, meet other freshman, talk to upperclassmen who stay there with us as our sort-of RA’s (Resident Advisor). They really make you feel welcome to the environment and give up some tips and secrets that you wouldn’t normally see on the catalogue. It made me really excited to go to college knowing that there were people like that.</p>
