BLAZING THE TRAIL: Rollins Explorations Director Doug Little leads the first year students through Fall 2008 Orientation, whipping them into shape for the upcoming year.

Welcome first-years to one of the busiest weeks of your college experience! Orientation leaves little room to sleep, relax, watch TV, hang out or grow homesick.

Be prepared to be submerged and drowned in information about Rollins College, learn to repeat "We are Rollins College" in your sleep, and meet so many new people whose names you will probably forget in thirty minutes. Although you may be sleep-deprived and drained by all of the changes going on around you, know that the memories you create this first week will last for years to come.

Nightly activities such as casino night and watching the hypnotist are always great times to loosen up and meet new people outside of your RCC without all of those icebreaker games.

At Rollins there is no such thing as going hungry, not participating, not meeting people or having nothing to do during orientation. You will definitely always be busy.

Orientation is one of the best times to meet new people. Everyone is looking to make new friends, and nothing is better than finding a group of people that you can share your next four years of college experiences with. So although some may not want to hear it and others rejoice at the liberation: it is time to say good-bye to your parents and stand on your own two feet.
