Freshman Orientation – Now the New U

The golden shower trees are in full bloom! Let the “Freshman Orientation – Bole Academy” mark the beginning of a brand-new you!

The school tree, the Golden Shower Tree (Cassia fistula), blooms with golden flowers that sway gently in the early summer breeze. Its petals fall like rain, while the long seed pods hanging from its branches are the fruits of the previous season—last year’s fruits and this year’s blossoms coexisting on the same tree. This symbolizes the spirit of heritage and continuity among generations of faculty and students at NTNU. Our orientation camp is specially named “The 118th Class Bole Academy – In Search of a Life Mentor”. It transforms the spirit of the school tree into the image of Bole, the legendary talent scout, with the hope that every faculty member and student can become a mentor who helps you discover your potential during your university journey. We aim to support your holistic development and guide you toward successful learning outcomes. Please get ready to take your first step into university life. With our sincerest care and support, we warmly welcome you to our big family and wish you a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
