1. Get Informed about Academics at GW

There are so many academic resources for you! Advising, tutors, and Starbucks Baristas.

2. Be Blinded by Your Small Group Leader's Shoes

Because it would be impossible to orient you guys in normal shoes.

3. Enjoy Your Freedom

The opportunities are endless. You can either watch Orange is the New Black or 30 Rock-- the choice is yours!

4. Go to the Student Org Fair

With over 400 student orgs, there's no reason not to get involved. Unless you like Quidditch, we don't have that...yet.

5. Free Food

Invest in some tupperware.

6. Student Performance Showcase

Think of a cross between Pitch Perfect, Napoleon Dynamite, and that awkward stand-up show you went to last week.

7. Bond with Your Small Group

Nothing like an awkward icebreaker to help find your new best friends.

8. Turn Down at the MSSC House Party

Ain't no party like a Multicultural Student Services Center Party cause a Multicultural Student Services Center Party don't stop!

9. Go to GW Deli

There's never a bad time for a bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich.

10. Late Night Adventures

Whether it's eating bougie cupcakes or hitting on that kid in your small group, some of the most memorable moments happen at CI in the city.

11. Experience the Vern for the First Time

It's just as cool as Hogwarts but a little easier to get to.

12. Ride the Vex

The best 15 minutes of your life.

13. Travel around DC

Put Google Maps to the test by getting lost between GW landmarks.
