Orientation Guide 2021

Message from The Post

Welcome, class of 2025, to your Bobcat Student Orientation. Whether you are attending BSO on the bricks of Athens or through your computer screen, rest assured you are at the beginning of a wonderful journey. Being a Bobcat means becoming a part of a huge community that will usher you into its ranks no matter the modality of your BSO experience.

Nonetheless, orientation can be overwhelming — and that’s why we’re here to help. The Post’s 2021 Orientation Guide is filled with a plethora of resources for incoming Bobcats. From people and places to know to where to fix your caffeinated craving and how to approach in-person classes, this guide serves as your informal orientation to college. Take a look at our articles, listicles, photos and more as you prepare for an unforgettable Fall Semester. We can’t wait to meet you.

Warm regards,
