Just when you thought you had it all covered: you memorized the campus map and you know how to get from Point A to Point B to keep from looking like a college Freshman — My College Guide had to throw one more curve ball at you: do you know the campus traditions?

Nothing says, “Freshman” like a student who doesn’t know the college campus legends and superstitions – don’t walk through that gate or use those stairs or stroll under that campanile! Why not see if your college or university has a dedicated page of campus traditions? Here’s a great example of how colleges are helping students get on-board – using YouTube videos! If you go to the University of Kansas, you might want to learn the Rock Chalk Chant and how to clap to the fight song, you know, before the big game!
