Welcome New Freshman!


Student Orientation

Welcome to Bloomsburg University and the Husky Family! To ease your transition to BU, the Orientation Office invites you to attend a BU Preview day! BU Preview days offer are a perfect opportunity for new students and their families to meet faculty and current students, get a closer look at our scenic campus and learn about the activities and support services available to BU students.

All new students except summer freshmen and ACT 101/EOP students are required to attend a BU Preview Day. For your convenience, we offer six different BU Preview Dates for new freshmen: June 24, June 25, June 26, July 15, July 16 and July 17. A tentative schedule of events will be posted soon! Thank you for helping us make the most of your Orientation experience!
