<p>bost88 - I’m not completly sure. I know that the GPS activity was one of the activities on friday, but I’m not sure what the others were. I would be suprised if they actually took you around to popular student hang-outs that weren’t associated with BU.</p>
<p>ans06 - I was done registering for classes and getting my ID picture taken at 10, but I went to a work-study seminar from 10 to 10:30. My friend in CAS (I’m in ENG) didn’t get done with registration until around 11:15. It really depends on the group you’re in and how quickly they can get one of buildings with the advisors.</p>
<p>bf06bu - Everything nathansc said. They give you sheets, a pillow, soap, a cup, two wash cloths, a hand towel, and a rather small full size towel.</p>
<p>djkim253 - Everyone at the orientation got one of two prompts, one about knowledge and wisdom and the other about beauty, though I’m pretty sure they’ll be different at your orientation. You had to read a passage for each and then sumarize it and argue whether you agree or disagree, and you had to use two quotes. I thought I did really horribly, as I was only starting the 3rd paragraph when they said there were 10 min left. I blasted through the last 3 paragraphs and didn’t have any time to read over what I wrote. I was pretty worried, but I got into WR100 and that’s what I was going for. Just a side note: One of my friends tried to be more “creative” and started his essay with 3 rhetorical questions. They put him in WR099 even though he was in AP English last year, but he was able to talk to his advisor and get put in WR100. I guess my point is unless you’re aiming for WR150 just play it safe and write a solid, direct essay.</p>
