Comments from Orientation:

How are you feeling about your son/daughter coming to Assumption in the fall?

“Wonderful!!! Assured that she has made the right decision and has every opportunity available to be successful and happy. The many services offered are very impressive.”

“This feels like a great place for my daughter to be with lots of support. I’m not as worried, well yes I’m still worried, but I’ll be OK!”

“Fine! She will be a member of a TRUE community!”

“Very positive – my husband was suppose to come and I’m sorry (so he will also) he missed it. The orientation increased my positive perceptions of the college.”
