“I was surprised by how many people I met and the number of friends I made during Orientation,” says Nicholas Bongarzone ’13. “That’s why everyone should get involved and go to as many events as possible—you will never know who you will meet during the course of a 30-minute program. Those people may become your friends for life.

“Orientation let me know that I was accepted at Arcadia and that the University actually planned things for me to do. I got to experience the whole campus and actually know about the University in only a few days. Now, as a Resident Assistant, I’m helping new students do the same.”
