Congratulations, and welcome to the “Most Beautiful” campus in the nation! This booklet provides you with everything you need to know, and then some, about the Southern experience.

It’s all addressed here — important dates, where to check in on Move-In Day, a list of what to bring (and what not to bring), technology recommendations (including where to get student discounts), campus security, parking permits, mail, and everything in between.

Once you get on campus, you won’t go hungry. Inside, there’s a guide to eating your way around campus. We’ve also included where you can go to work off all that food! And last but not least, we list cool stuff to do around Lakeland, your new home away from home.

Read on and learn how to be part of the big picture. Your picture. Enjoy your journey!
