I just came back from orientation LSA.

On your orientation confirmation packet that you print online (which they don’t actually check if you have it) has a list of stuff you NEED to bring. The only things listed that you don’t need to bring are probably your transcript/AP scores because no one checks that and toilet paper.

First day of orientation is super boring and goes by really slowly. You are forced through placement tests, lectures about student life, and tours across campus. For the first two days, you are active from 7am to at least 10pm. You start creating your schedule at the second half (afternoon to night) of the second day. If you are looking to take Biology classes first semester, you are 99% will not be able to sign up because ALL of the classes are most likely closed. I took the last Biology 173 class. You’ll get exhausted and bored, but everyone will face it.

Bathrooms/showers are very clean since there are people who clean them everyday. You do not have to worry about dirty bathrooms or anything. You cannot choose to stay in a room with someone you want. All rooms are pre assigned.
