New Student Orientation Program

Welcome to Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science -- we’re so happy that you are here! You are among the very best and brightest of the applicants to SEAS, so be proud. The engineering school was more selective this year than ever before, only accepting 14.42% of the students that applied. You’ve worked hard to get here, so now is your time to enjoy it. Take advantage of the expert professors, who are all here to support you in your academic endeavors. Explore New York City and everything it has to offer; it’s your home for the next four years. Create something, join a club, try a new cuisine, meet your exceptional classmates, and pursue your passions. Be prepared to work hard but also to have the best time of your life.
