Your Life is Going to ChangeAre you use to …
Someone waking you up in the morningSomeone telling you when to go to bedSomeone washing your clothesSomeone keeping track of where you are and what
you are doing In high school, you can’t even go to the
bathroom without permission, in college no one knows if you wake up and go to class
You’re only 10 weeks older (after graduating); to be successful you need to be:ResponsibleSelf-disciplined
College OrientationOne or two days sessions in the summer to give
you (and sometimes your family) an overview of what to expect
Includes tours of the campus and residence hallsPanel discussions on academic and student lifeSmall group sessions on topics such as financial
aid and study abroad programsAn information fair with representatives from
various campus organizations*Placement tests for math and foreign languagesA chance to register for classesSocial events
Living on CampusMost College/Universities require freshmen
to live on campus (Why do you think they require this?)
Freshmen under 21 years of age must live on campus or commute from their parents' residence
Depends on College/University
Waiting GameRoommate and dorm assignments usually arrive
in late July, early AugustMay be tripled (due to drop outs)*
Freshmen are last on the list – fill in left over rooms
Freshmen are usually in residence halls, not suites or apartments
School provides you with:Roommates name, email address, phone number,
addressYou should take the opportunity to call, talk and
share information, don’t just use Facebook

Check with your roommate – you shouldn’t have to bring everything for the dorm room!
Getting Set UpMoving in and picking up keyGetting ID (if not done in orientation)Getting Schedule (done in orientation)Getting Books (if you know what you need)
Go to BookstoreOrganized by course number & professorNew and UsedMay be able to buy them used online for
cheaperOften wait until first day of class – until you get
syllabus
Rooms*Vary in size
Typically 10’ x 12’; 15’ x 15’Contain:
Two bedsTwo desksTwo closetsTwo dressers
Switching rooms is often VERY difficult first semester
Having a Roommate (24/7)Builds:
Relationship skillsCommunication skillsTolerance (patience)
Best NOT to room with someone from high schoolMeet more peopleBroadens your friendsYou can always go visit the friend (you have someplace
else to go besides your dorm room)Students who room with friends after the first month
are known to say “I really didn’t know that person”; sometimes friendships are ruined
Some of the best college friendships come out roommates
Housing (freshman year)*Residence Hall (dormitory room; dorm)
Double occupancy (most popular)Single occupancy (usually not available)Triple occupancy
Varies in costAre combined with a meal planCollege Board reports that the average cost
of room and board in 2011–2012 ranged from $8,887 at four-year public schools to $10,089 at private schools
Meal PlansRequired for students who live on campus
19 meals per week 14 meals per week 10 meals per week Other plans are available
Can be purchased by off-campus students
All College FreshmanShould find the Academic Center (tutoring)
No one from tutoring is going to stop by your dorm room (you don’t have school counselors)
A tutor may be able to explain things better than the professor
A tutor can save you time in studyingTutors are not just for students with bad grades --
Students who have B’s that want to get A’s can use the service
“Ask” for help when you need it – don’t wait until it becomes a problem
Tutoring services are free (actually you pay for them in one of your “fees”)
Should use the library and know the services it offers
Parking on CampusFreshmen usually cannot have a car on
campusMay be in Tim-buk-tuUniversities with off-campus parking lots
often run shuttle buses to campusIn some colleges, you need 64 or more
credits before you can have a car on campus
