A split image for college orientation. On the left is the entrance to a large stone university chapel with a social media question box overlay that reads “Hey, first-year Terriers! What questions do you have for upperclassmen?” On the right is an aerial view of a city campus with leafy trees, surrounded by buildings. Overlaying the right side are six question boxes from students asking about finding events, hanging out on campus, making connections, managing academic rigor, recommended apps, and finding internships.
