Questions Every New Student Asks
Starting college is exciting, but it’s also completely normal to have questions. In fact, every incoming student arrives with a mix of anticipation, curiosity and maybe even a few nerves.
If you’ve been wondering whether you’re asking the “right” questions, don’t worry. Chances are, someone else is wondering the exact same thing.
We asked First Year Class Dean Allison Farrell to share the answers to some of the questions we hear most often from new Dolphins.
If we didn’t cover what’s on your mind, just ask us. Remember, while college is about exploring your new independence, you’ll always have a community ready to help you on The Heights!
Your Questions. Answered.
You’re not alone. Every orientation session, move-in day and Welcome Week activity is designed to help you meet other students. Some of your closest friendships may start with the person sitting next to you during orientation, the student living down the hall, or someone you meet in your first class.
Remember: everyone else is looking to make connections, too.

Orientation is your first opportunity to experience life at Le Moyne. You’ll meet classmates, connect with faculty and staff, explore campus, register for classes with your academic advisor, and learn what to expect during your first semester.
By the time you head home, you’ll know your schedule, have answers to your biggest questions, and feel much more prepared for move-in day.

That’s okay.
Many students arrive with questions about their academic path, and some even discover new interests once they begin taking classes. Your advisor will help you explore your options and build a schedule that keeps you moving forward while leaving room to discover where your passions lead.

One of the biggest differences is the independence you’ll have.
Your professors will expect you to manage your schedule, stay organized and ask questions when you need help. At the same time, you’ll have an incredible support system of professors, advisors and staff who genuinely want to see you succeed.
College offers more freedom, but you’re never expected to figure everything out on your own.

It’s one of the most common questions (and one of the easiest to answer).
Le Moyne is a community built on relationships. Students come from different backgrounds, experiences and interests, but they quickly discover something they have in common: people here genuinely care about one another.
You’ll find your place here. Sometimes it happens during orientation. Sometimes it happens in your first class, residence hall, club meeting or campus event. However it happens, you’ll quickly realize you’re part of something bigger.
