Hiya Class of 2025!
We’ve hit the point in August where it’s really starting to set in: you’re going to college. How to describe this feeling you’re feeling? Is it happiness? Exhilaration? Fear? Indigestion? Looming sense of dread about your impending adulthood and nostalgia for a childhood that slipped through your fingers without you even noticing?
Whether you feel excited or anxious or somewhere in between, Wesleying is here to help! This year, just like every year, we’re posting our Unofficial Orientation to get you up to speed on everything Wesleyan and college-related. And because we’re the cool kids, we’ll tell you all the juicy details that they don’t want you to hear at orientation. Hopefully this year COVID will be less of a menace than it was the last time around (Right? Please? PLEASE???), but no matter what, these articles will include info on any relevant protocols that stand at the start of the semester. All articles will be linked here for easy access as they are posted:
- Dorm Living FAQ
- What to Pack
- WesLingo
- Getting from Here to There
- Social Media Directory
- Health Resources
- Jobs and Work Study
- Financial Aid

You can also look at our Unofficial Orientation 2021 tag, and if you’d like you can look back at past Unofficial Orientations.
Have any specific questions? Post them as comments to this page or email staff[at]wesleying[dot]org. And if you like what you see and are interested in writing for Wesleying in the future, we’ll be having an interest meeting soon after the semester starts. Stay tuned for the deets! From all of us here at Wesleying, welcome to Wesleyan! We’re so glad you’re here!
