Lakeland College

Summer Orientation

Brief Overview

Orientation will include many different activities and events to help you become more familiar with campus, as well as to introduce you to the Lakeland College staff and other new students and families. You will hear from current students (orientation leaders) about their Lakeland experience and will have the opportunity to ask questions about college life. Workshops and small group sessions will provide you with information to assist you in your transition to college and ensure that you have a great experience. Special sessions have been designed for parents and families, so feel free to bring them along.

Lodging/housing

Students who attend the summer orientation program will stay on campus in a traditional residence hall and will be assigned a roommate for the evening. Through this experience, you will gain first hand knowledge of what it is like to be a student at Lakeland College. Plus, it is a great way for you to have fun and get to know other new students!

There are several lodging options available for families who will be attending orientation with their student. The following locations are close to campus (20 minute drive) and offer a Lakeland College room rate.
