5 Tips Before Coming to South Alabama
Hey, future Jags! Here are my 5 tips for preparing to come to South Alabama:
1. Register for orientation: As soon as you get accepted to South, sign up for an orientation session that works for you! We have many summer sessions to choose from, and you can register on our website at https://www.southalabama.edu/departments/orientation/. Attending orientation will help you become more familiar with campus and some new students before officially becoming a Jag in the fall!
2. Sign up for housing: Apply to housing to secure your spot on campus at South Alabama! Living on campus is close to everything and helps you make connections. Once you're admitted, I would recommend signing up for housing at https://www.southalabama.edu/departments/housing/. There are many options of residence halls to choose from, and we even have a roommate matching system.
3. Hang out with hometown family and friends: If you're moving far away from home, I recommend spending some quality time with your friends from home. It will be great to make some fun memories at home before coming to USA and making many more!
4. Brush up on reading, writing, and basics from high school: I know it isn't probably how you want to spend your summer before coming to college, but taking time to work on some of the basics will really pay off in college. I would read a couple books, and make sure you have those key skills needed for your first college courses.
5. HAVE FUN!: You're about to have so much fun at South, but make sure you take some time for yourself if you've just graduated or finished a semester. Have fun relaxing to get back into the groove when it's time to start your Jag Journey!
