Explore your new campus
One of the most exciting experiences as a college freshman is seeing your campus, the place that you will be living at for the next several years. Not only is it an exciting experience, but it also helps students, especially those who are newcomers to North Central University, ground themselves and get a grasp of the campus amenities and where everything is located. While exploring the campus, students may end up making new acquaintances, which is always helpful when starting a new chapter of life in a different place.

Participate in college activities
There are always many activities for students to participate in, whether they are freshmen newcomers or students who have been attending for years. Especially during the first few days after students have moved onto North Central, there are always so many exciting activities that students can participate in. Students can get to know other students while participating in these activities. North Central offers a wide variety of activities for students when they first move onto campus in the fall. These activities are designed to create a safe community and new relationships for students.
