Cricket in Keene, Texas

The difference between high school and college is like the difference between reading a chapter in the Bible or reading the whole thing. It’s huge.

SWAU’s first-year orientation program will help you make the leap to college by teaching you the ins and outs of campus life the week before classes begin. By the time Freshman Orientation and Cricket Camp wrap up on Sunday, you’ll be a regular member of the SWAU community.

Freshman orientation begins on Wednesday with presentations for you and your parents. You’ll learn about registration, housing, intramurals, student activities, SWAU’s spiritual life and academic programs.

Thursday it’s off to Cricket Camp for ropes course training in nearby Stephenville, where after tackling the ropes, you and your classmates will be bonded for life. (We even pass out “I survived Cricket Camp” t-shirts.)

Spend the remainder of the weekend registering for classes, attending Sabbath School, decorating your dorm room and participating in other activities. By the time Monday rolls around, you’ll be ready to begin your college career.
