orientation
is a fun experience for the students and they get to know others
Maryalice,
Excellent point. This is why it is so important to set realistic expectations with the student from the beginning.

Yes, orientation can be fun it can also be a little fearful. I remember when I went to orientation, I keep wondering in my mind ok when is the ball going to drop, meaning am I going to be told something different about my studies since I've signed on the dotted line. For me the school was under close evaluation for one week, then I began to relax.
Meeting new people is always exciting when starting new ventures
I disagree, student should be given a chance and it is up to the instructor to help such student to accomplish what they never thought they could.
Yeah but it needs to be more than that I believe that orientation is your time to actually weed out some of that students that is not really serious about school or not sure about this particular field.
