I know that you are probably getting anxious and nervous about coming to Camp War Eagle! It is going to be so much fun and in three days you are going to find out more about Auburn then you probably ever wanted to know. You will also get to meet a lot of people and could begin to form friendships that will last you throughout college or a lifetime. I am a junior and I still am friends with several people that I met at Camp War Eagle. People often wonder if they will get to room with a friend, unfortunately you will not get to room with a friend, but use this opportunity to meet new people and find commonalities between yourself and members of your class. Roommates and group members are chosen at random so that you can take every opportunity to get to know other classmates coming to Auburn. Although coming to Auburn knowing no one might seem scary, know that every other freshmen at present and also in the past has been in your shoes. Camp War Eagle is the beginning of your college career and it is a perfect opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and meet new people.
People also wonder what they need to pack for three days. Packing can be a tricky situation because you don’t want to pack too much or not enough. On the first day you will be required to wear the Camp War Eagle shirt that will be given to you at registration. My advice would be to wear shorts and a shirt so that it is easy to slip on your Camp shirt. As for the second and third days you can wear whatever you will be most comfortable in. I would advise to bring comfortable clothes because you will be outside and walking throughout the day. Tennis shoes or some type of sandal would be the best choice for shoes. Please also make sure that you bring sheets, a pillow, and a towel. It is also probably a good idea to throw in a blanket because the dorms can be chilly at night even though it is the summer. Make sure to also pack all of the toiletries and medicine that might be needed while you are at Camp. Remember that you have to carry your own luggage so don’t pack to much but don’t forget anything!!!
