New Student Orientation

You Belong Here

We strive to make your transition to college a positive one where you get your questions answered and have mentors to guide you throughout the process. Our goal is to welcome, support, and challenge every student who joins our community. Our combination of new student orientation (summer and fall), First Year Seminars, faculty advisors, and peer mentors help our students become familiar with Etown and form relationships with fellow students early in their college careers.

There are so many opportunities to take advantage of at Etown - from student clubs to living-learning communities. Ultimate Frisbee? Anime? Improv? We've got it all (and if we don't - you can start a club). Explore campus life at Etown; we want you to love it here as much as we do!
