Another school year is set to begin at the University of Saskatchewan Thursday.

Classes for the school begins that day but orientation for first year students actually begins today (Tues).

Director of Enrolment Services at the U of S, Alison Pickrell, says they are expecting a larger student body and a larger number of first year students this year.

She says orientation will be a little bit different this year.

On top of the welcoming activities with current students that take place every year, specific colleges will be holding their own orientation.

Pickrell says that most colleges are beginning their classes on Thursday but it may vary.
