Orientation
意味: A program for new college students introducing them to campus resources, traditions, and social life.
Freshman orientation is the awkward, exciting introduction to college life. New students are herded through campus tours, ice-breaker games, resource presentations, and social events designed to make them feel welcome. Orientation leaders (usually sophomores) are aggressively enthusiastic. 'Orientation was cringey but I met my best friend there' is the standard reflection. Some schools have elaborate orientation weeks with concerts, outdoor trips, and community service. It is the first taste of college independence.
