<p>Dear kathleen21 : Students will stay in one of the campus dorms (usually Vanderslice) for the orientation program. The orientation program is targeted at both parents and students; both will follow separate tracks. The truth of the matter is that the parents and students do not see each other after the introduction session for about two days until the closing session (unless they run into each other on campus). Most parents come to campus for the orientation session. For more information, you can check out the First Year Experience page on the Boston College web site : </p>

<p>Note that registration for a session is due by May 1, 2010. The earlier your register, the more likely you will get a session to meet your schedule.</p>
