Orientation was a lot of fun.
I met new people and learned from a professor I will have as a freshman for my CSDS (communication sciences and disorders) classes.
An exciting part of the day was picking up my Lancer ID card—I’m officially a Longwood student!
My favorite part of the day was after the welcome talk when we broke into groups by our majors. I go to go to the CSDS building, where an exciting part of the classroom is the “spinny” chairs. My peer mentor, Wesley, is a rising senior at Longwood and a CSDS major. It was nice to hear about the major from a student’s perspective. It made me happy to hear that CSDS is very rewarding and worth all the hard work.
I met another freshman, Brittany Napier, who is in my major. We will have two classes together, and we’re also in the Curry dorm together. It is going to be so nice seeing a familiar face besides my roommate.
My advice to future Longwood students to get the most out of orientation is don’t be afraid to meet new people! Also try to plan with your roommate to go on the same day so you can experience it all together.
I am so excited to kick off freshman year with Longwood traditions, especially Color Wars.
