frosh week

New student festivities

Frosh week is the orientation period at the start of a university's academic year, typically featuring social events, campus tours, and activities designed to help first-year students adjust to college life.

The term is mainly Canadian, though it appears elsewhere.

I met my roommate during frosh week.

The events often involve drinking and have drawn criticism for hazing incidents.
