New Student Orientation
Incoming freshmen and transfers will arrive on campus before the rest of the student body for an intentional time of getting acclimated to college life. This is also when you move into your residence hall. Your family is invited to be a part of a portion of this weekend as well. From getting to know your classmates and professors to learning how to succeed as a new college student, you should be ready to start at the top of your game!
New student orientation for Fall 2019 takes place August 16, 2019.
Coming in as a freshman, I was pretty nervous because I live 600 miles from SWU. I knew that once I got here, I would be very far away from everyone and everything that I knew. I was quickly relieved because I learned that all the talk about the strong community of SWU was more than just talk. I grew close to the people on my hall, in my resident building, and met great people through joining SWU Student Activities. Many people have played a part in my coming to love SWU, and people have been very welcoming to me. I was even invited to spend Thanksgiving with a group of friends which was amazing. I have come to love SWU and the great community that is here, and I know that I made the right choice in coming to SWU.
