Orientation - Week 1

The first week of orientation was incredibly hectic. It started 9am Monday with a speech from our dean. It ended early the next Monday morning after completion of a 3 1/2 day residential course locked in a hotel. In between were a series of orientation sessions designed to introduce us to Student Services, Careers Office, and academic expectations.

I think the sessions did a pretty good job introducing us to the school and its resources. The one thing missing from the first week was that memorable social event that introduced to us to a bit of the area and got us interacting with the class off-campus.

The week after the residential was pretty relaxing. I think we had 2 - 1/2 day sessions. This allowed me and Linz to catchup, unpack our delivered furniture, and set up our apartment.
