TOP 10 THINGS EVERY NSU FRESHMAN NEEDS TO KNOW. 1.

Get Involved! Make the most of your college experience

by going to events. Check out Demon Days events in your #first42 days on campus.

2. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Take advantage of

tutoring, counseling, and career services, all free to utilize on campus.

3.

It’s okay to change your major. Your academic advisor

should be your best friend; they just want to help you!

4. Make sure to check your student email daily. It’s our

official communication at NSU for everything from class cancellations to upcoming events.

5.

Learn the NSU Fight Song and sing it loud and proud. It’s how we celebrate at sporting events, big events, and huge accomplishments.

7. The freshman fifteen is real… take advantage of the

WRAC, group exercise classes, and healthy food options on campus.

8. Get out and explore NSU and Natchitoches! It’s not every day you get to live in a town voted Best Southern Small Town in a USA TODAY competition.

9. Going to college is about trying new things… so get out of your comfort zone and make memories!

As always, FORK ‘EM, DEMONS!

FORK ’EM,!
