Hello, incoming freshman, and welcome to The Post's online Orientation Guide! What you'll find in the stories below is a collection of everything you need to get up to speed with Athens life.
We know you're excited to get to campus for good, and we're excited to have you.
Please pick up our print edition when you're on campus for your Bobcat Student Orientation, and take it home with you — we hope it will be helpful in getting you ready for your first move-in weekend.
In the meantime, please visit the links below to get a sense of what you'll be getting into when you arrive in Athens in the fall!
And if you'd like to see what a copy of our newspaper looks like before you get on campus, we've attached a PDF version of the Orientation Guide below.
Lastly, if you're interested in working for The Post, please send us an email. We're looking for coders, copy editors, designers, photographers, online and multimedia experts, and, of course, reporters.
