Welcome!

We want to make your transition to our campus as smooth and easy as possible.

If you haven't already, check out our academic calendar for important dates

And, before classes start, make sure you've done the following:
  1. Apply for financial aid and scholarships
  2. Find a place to live
  3. Register for classes
  4. Attend orientation
  5. Get your books and supplies

That’s the “practical” advice. Now here are some words of wisdom from students who’ve been in your shoes:

Kendall is unlike any other experience. It can be kind of scary and intimidating at first, but it helps if you realize everyone’s in the same boat.

“Kendall is unlike any other experience. It can be kind of scary and intimidating at first, but it helps if you realize everyone’s in the same boat.” —Emily (Kendall junior)

“Don’t procrastinate. Get as much sleep as possible and get on a good sleeping schedule.” —Mike (Kendall sophomore)

“Paying attention in Art History (and actually showing up) greatly reduces the freak-out factor at finals.” —Nicholas (Kendall sophomore)
