Through this Orientation course, I learned how special Herkimer College really is! The orientation course is both informative and applicable regardless of whether you live on campus or not, or whether you are a traditional or non-traditional student. Herkimer has so many support systems in place to assist in making the student’s experience a positive one. Everyone’s “door is open” to help students be successful, from professors and advisors to 24/7 hotlines when someone is in crisis.
