 This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald

A privileged Princeton student becomes totally disillusioned after graduation. He finds out that life is completely different behind the walls of his college, and now he has to look for himself again. It sounds so familiar to many college students today, doesn’t it?

One of the International students recommended this book if you have any recommendations you would like to share with other students.

The Freshmen Outdoor Orientation Trip (F.O.O.T.) is a unique wilderness experience that will take place the week before school begins. Trained upperclassmen will lead backpacking trips along the Appalachian Trail. F.O.O.T. offers an amazing opportunity for incoming students to meet a small group of new classmates and establish relationships with older student leaders. You will hike, camp, cook outdoors, play games, swim in waterfalls, and spend a day giving back to the mountains by learning how to build and maintain hiking trails.

Registration is open to all incoming freshmen.

Please email the outdoor recreation program manager at erin.sherrets@wright.edu with any questions. 

When: Wednesday, August 10, 1 pm to Wednesday, August 17, 2022, 5 pm

Where: Appalachian Trail, Tennessee
