New College of Charleston Students Excited to Get Started

Campus is buzzing with excitement and anticipation this summer, as more than 2,000 accepted students visit for New Student Orientation and get one step closer to starting something extraordinary at the College of Charleston.

There’s a lot to look forward to for these new Cougars as they begin their journey as college students, and Julia Neimark, a junior majoring in communication and interning with The College Today, tracked down a few students at orientation to find out what they are most excited about for their first semester at the College. Here’s what they had to say!
