The Freshman Reception 9-17-09 @ 12:30-1:00

So the reception was a little crazy because it was so packed, so for a while I really didn’t know what to do except stand around. Eventually everyone left and I decided to stay to listen to the counselor. Basically she was teaching us about what classes to pick next semester to fill our tier 1,2, and 3 requirements. She also talked to us about when to get everything done to make sure we have our spot in Ziklin secured.

I thought this workshop was very useful because it really helped me decide what classes I should register for next semester, and even set some goals for this semester (such as take my simnet exam). Before going to this workshop I was going to pick totally different classes such as art or any required classes that I needed to graduate but I learned that its more important to take the classes I need to declare my major.  This workshop was very informative.

I would definitely recommend this to any student only because it was very informative but I do believe that the workshop was very unorganized and should have been better planned. There were too many students and very little space and many students had to leave without learning anything. The workshop didn’t really take me out of my comfort zone because it was too crowded and chaotic, so I didn’t get to do much.

Hopefully next time it will be better for any students who want to attend it. It was a great learning experience and really helped me make many decisions that I had trouble with earlier.

    Haha, I sort of did the same. I sat down at one of the tables and listened to the adviser talk with the students. I also learned similar info but the adviser cut short in order to sign books.

    ANNA !! You’re like a ghost okay … During FRO we see you, but during the school day you disappear into another dimension. I would like to talk to you about Zicklin, because I’m most likely doing exactly what you have been doing the last four years.

    it was probably a good idea to stay , since it seems you learned a lot from the counselor. if you are planning to get into zicklin, you can also ask me for advice if you want regarding what classes you want to register for next semester =] yeaa they really didn’t expect so many students to show up, so hopefully the other workshops you attend will be better =D
