Fresh Fest is Hillel\u2019s orientation program \u2013 aimed at helping new students adjust to life on BU\u2019s campus. We will show you everything you need to know about Jewish life on campus and have a blast doing it. Join Fresh Fest and you\u2019ll have 50+ new friends before classes even start.<\/p>\n

Coming to a large campus like Boston University, especially without orientation can be intimidating, but Fresh Fest will help you feel at home. Meet upper and underclassmen whose passions are diverse \u2013 sports, art, music, food, community service, prayer, holidays, schmoozing, traveling to Israel, and more. Your Jewish journey starts today \u2013 see you at Fresh Fest!<\/p>\n
