"My orientation experience at Florida Southern far exceeded my expectations as an incoming freshman. Placed with an orientation leader and a group that were part of my major, I immediately found common interest and felt connected to the students around me. The amount of activities and events offered for students is abundant which makes it incredibly easy to meld into the campus community. So grateful to the orientation leaders for all they do!"
