It's not mandatory but we really do try to get everyone to come. If not, there are still workout requirements to make sure you stay in shape, and that's a bit harder to do on your own. You'll also need to be back on campus early with us regardless of whether or not you come to Puerto Rico.

I swam in highschool and loved it, but Im concerned about my level compared to the college level, & I haven't been in the pool in a while, is it common for someone who may not be amazing to swim on the team? and does anyone ever join up their 2nd year?
We've have a few people join late or come in as transfers. It's not uncommon for someone who hasn't swam too completitively to try for the team. We're the type of team that doesn't necessarily cut people. That said, most people that would get cut if we did that just don't stick around very long because of how challenging the workouts/scheduling can be.
how's the food?
I think the food is pretty good. There are always those days where I can't find anything I want to eat, but then you just have to get creative (I go with the English Muffin Pizza or a fancy salad). There's almost always something for everyone, and tons of ways to add flavors to things.
Is the homework overwhelming?
I don't think the work is overwhelming, but you do need very good time management skills. Most students here participate in another activity outside of the classroom, so you need to know how to balance that time in.

Are there little lounges in the dorms? Thanks :)
First off, to people who have sent me questions I haven't answered, I'm getting to them. As an orientation leader, I'm running around like a crazy person right now, so I'm only popping in to the questions that are quick. I'll get to you, don't worry!
And yes, there are 3 lounges in each dorm building, one with a TV and one with a printer too!
how do people get from the showers to their room? do they wear robes or just wrap a towel around them? that seems like it would be very cold to do that. also, when showering is there somewhere to put your towel so it doesnt get wet?
Some people walk through the halls with a towel on. I was always one of those people that got changed into a towel in the bathroom. It's your choise, whatever you're more comfortable with. Most RAs will put up some sort of hooks for your towels, or some will already be there. Tip? I unhook one of the middle rings of the shower curtain and hang mine there.
Christine, I'm not bringing a printer up to SMC, but would you mind telling me some places where we can access printers on campus? Thanks =)
There are s TON of places to print. There are at least 4 printers in the academic buldings, another 2 in the library, and one in each dorm building in the quad too. They're actually all brand new, as part of our sustainability efforts, too!
