My favorite thing about Frosh Orientation was...
"Getting to know other freshmen and building friendships. [Getting a] better understanding of what it takes to be a Spartan."
"Orientation was my first taste of college and I liked it."
"The leaders were really cool and easy to talk to, it's like I've already known them before."
"The Orientation Advisors, they were very upbeat and lively. They made me feel excited about coming to SJSU."
"The Resource Faire-everyone was enthusiastic to inform and I actually got all the questions I came here with answered."
"I liked being able to learn what I needed to know with someone...NOT a computer."
