We got to spend the night in the new Livingston Apartments!<\/p>\n<p>In past years, students stayed in the Lynton Towers which are ancient and get super hot during the summer. The apartments house 4 people who each get their own bedroom and get air-conditioning. Very nice!<\/p>\n<p>Update: The towers got air conditioning this summer so I wonder if they&#8217;ll change the location back next year!<\/p>\n<p>2. There weren&#8217;t that many outdoor activities.<\/p>\n<p>Well, there was an all-day tour on day 2 but I was sort of expecting relay races and stuff (don&#8217;t ask me why). I&#8217;m glad I was wrong though because I don&#8217;t like that stuff&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>3. People weren&#8217;t that open to making new friends.<\/p>\n<p>I was shocked by how much of a wall people had put up! I was trying to start conversations with other incoming freshmen but people weren&#8217;t putting in much effort to keep the chat going&#8230; It got frustrating after a while so I went back to hanging out with people I already knew prior to orientation.<\/p>\n<p>From what I&#8217;ve pieced together, I hear it&#8217;s common for people to feel like making new friends with people at the orientation is a waste of time because they see it as, &#8220;I&#8217;m never going to see these people again so why should I try to become friends with them?&#8221; but I, on the other hand, feel like, &#8220;Orientation is a great way to meet new people before classes start-up in the fall!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I managed to make three new friends by the end of it so for me, going was worth it!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7646\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7646\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7646 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/998421_655244591172065_593394036_n-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=640,height=960,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/998421_655244591172065_593394036_n-1.jpg 640w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=200,height=300,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/998421_655244591172065_593394036_n-1.jpg 200w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=435,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/998421_655244591172065_593394036_n-1.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=611,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/998421_655244591172065_593394036_n-1.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=768,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/998421_655244591172065_593394036_n-1.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My friends and I took a picture on top of a blow-up at the Involvement Fair.
