We all like familiarity. Familiarity breeds confidence and sets the tone for your college experience. We want you to become comfortable in your new environment.
Adjustment is an important part of college life, and that is what orientation is all about.
Learn your way around the campus and Washington, D.C., meet new friends, and get settled in your dorm room, all before starting classes. Gallaudet offers several Orientation programs to help you become adjusted to your surroundings. They are listed in the column to the left where you can find information about those programs in this website. New international students arrive early for a pre-NSO orientation.
