As nervous as I was for pre-fall, it was all so worth it! I acclimated to the school a week before most of the freshman class even got there. Within that short time, I made connections and friendships so strong that they’ll likely last a lifetime. We did so many campus tours that, by the end of pre-fall, I knew how to get around campus and where my classes were. Hands-on activities gave me a chance to get to know staff and faculty and speak to my academic adviser before school started.
