Orientation

All new international students

Saturday August the 20th in the afternoon I arrived at Champlain College where at first sight I found it home. I saw two wonderful girls who met me on first in my residence hall and kindly helped with my stuff to bring in and showed my room.  After I settled in my room I had a very good Q and A with the girl who is also an international student and I got to know more about Champlain and the curriculum's at Champlain College. I also met many Champlain staff members during orientation who helped me with all my concerns and made it easier to adjust to the campus prior to arrival of other freshman students. I've got a full bag all sorts of chocolates, candies and water but it was Ramadan. Ramadan is the month when we fast and don't eat or drink only during the day.  Sunday August 21 the international orientation began and  I got to know students from all over the world which later on some of them become my best friends.  We had two group leaders and they were so awesome because they were so helpful and they took us out for dinner. Monday was the day which President Dr. David F. Finney announced in front of more than three thousand students with their parents that now we become officially "College " students which made me be proud of myself.  I personally enjoyed the first week of college a lot and now I feel that I have the privilege to be here and feel that I should give back to the community.
