Des Moines Orientation

Members do not see this ad.

I recieved the orientation packet for Des Moines a little while ago and I was wondering if anyone was planning on going to the AAA baseball game. I heard it is a ton of fun from present first year students. I just wanted to get to know some names before I get there so I am not totally alone

Thanks

I am most likely game for the game.

I declined the game for the simple reason that it appeared to be a long day and I didn't think I would enjoy a game with all new faces. That's just me. I think my time will be better spent getting settled in as I am not moving down until the weekend before.

OK I am the new guy on the Block and I just found out via the phone! I am not sure if I can convert from the Omaha Golden Spikes to the Iowa Cubs, but what the heck, its baseball. I hope I get the packet soon!!!!Dr. Bates said my info would be sent out today.

Hey...what else is on the schedule for orientation...does it sound like a lot of boring stuff - or more fun, casual, get-ta-know-ya type of things...??

 

[ryanpj]

I have heard something about an underground keg party! I guess that is one way to break the ice and make a fool of ourselves.

A kegger, huh? that could be dangerous! Well, at least we know that our outrageous tuition money goes toward good use! haha

Hi Everyone

Has anyone received any type of roomate matching information in their orientation packet from the school?

 

[Stasch@DMU]

Thanks for all the replies! I will try to answer some of the questions asked.

Alpha1phi: I got a huge packet on housing, physicals, orientation, etc. about two weeks ago. It had a booklet on the various types of housing in and near Des Moines as well as a roommate matching form in which the school can help pair you up with someone based on your response to a seris of questions. Things like are you a smoker - have pets - are you a 'clean' preson - were all considered. I have been to Des Moines twice to find a place so I know some of the places that seemed nice and reasonably priced. If you want to hear about them, let me know - my e-mail is [email protected]
Oh, I went to school in River Falls (near the twin cities) but I am from Mayville WI.
Other stuff on the schedule were things like pictures, white coat measurements, honor code, insurance, financial aid, health forms - ya know the standard required stuff. As for social things, they had the baseball game, picnics, "campus clubs" presentations, things like that.

Thanks everyone.
I will see you all in August!! Man this summer is just flying by.
