Video transcript
- So now that you've made your choice where you would like to attend college the next steps are to let us
know that you've chosen us. That's the thing that will then trigger the opportunity for you to
register for your orientation so you get a sense of what it's
like to attend the college. At that point you'd be able
to register for classes and speak with advisers. You'll also have an opportunity
to select your housing. On some campuses you may
actually have some input as who will be your roommate, but you certainly would be able to select, to take a look at the housing options and to select where
you would like to live. You'll also have an opportunity
to meet with other students. Many of us have Facebook pages where you have an opportunity to go ahead and chat with students
and to become familiar with other students
who will also be coming so that you don't come in
and meet a bunch of strangers when you get there. You wanna make sure that
you meet all deadlines. There are many deadlines that you'll see for your housing, for
registering for classes, for registering for orientation. Deadlines are gonna be very important because if you miss deadlines
then that can have an impact on your matriculation on to the campus. And then after that I would say that you just want to make sure that you prepare yourself to have
a wonderful experience at this next part of your life because it's very
exciting going to college. I honestly believe that
it's one of the best parts of your life and you
should enjoy it very much.
