BC Orientation! Question

<p>whether a student plans on being pre-med or pre-business, will that influence their class selection.? Or are the core requirements such that they both would take the same core classes and have basically the same semester of classes?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Don’t expect to see a catalog until after you submit a deposit and register for orientation.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, your college/major influences course selection tremendously. Students who are in School of Management have a couple of courses that they should take Frosh year, such as Portico, Econ, & Computers in Management as well as the standard English courses. </p>

<p>Pre-health students will typically take Chem+Lab, Bio, Math, English/Writing, and an Elective. For Bio majors, for example:</p>

<p>I see someone briefly touched on this, but how important is it for our parents to attend orientation? Will I be completely left out if I dont bring my parents?</p>

<p>worried mom- "thenatural, if you think you could be “stuck in a room with a bunch of jerks,” why did you decide to attend BC? You seem to think the students there are somehow beneath you. "</p>

<p>no, not all, you’re completely wrong. i couldn’t really find the right words i was just nervous the kids wouldn’t be nice, like they’d be arrogant prep school kids or something. so if anything, i was worried they’d be better than me. there’s nothing strange about worrying about the type of people at a new school -it’s something everyone thinks about no matter what college they’re going to.</p>

<p>BobJames (btw, love your albums :)): No, you will not be completely left out if you come without your parents because you will be attending the student’s orientation. We were talking about the parent’s orientation. which is completely separate from the student’s. It is well worth your parents’ time if they could attend orientation – especially if you are their first child to attend college – but if they can’t make it, BC will mail them anything they need to know about the school.</p>

<p>thenatural: There’s no reason to be nervous. Remember that most of the kids attending orientation will not know more than a few other students there (if any), so everyone is in the same boat. And obviously, BC thought you were just as qualified as everyone else there, or they wouldn’t have accepted you. So don’t worry about it; just relax and be yourself. I think you’ll find that most of the people at orientation are very friendly and are eager to make new friends just like you. And I can guarantee you that the Orientation Leaders and BC staff will do their best to make you feel welcome. Enjoy!</p>

<p>Is there a fee for orientation?</p>

<p>Yes there is a fee – it covers the food – parents are fed extremely well, btw.</p>

<p>I’m trying to get into an orientation session that is full on agora… is there any way i can still get into it?</p>

<p>bluebayou</p>

<p>Do you know when we get billed for the orientation fee? We already picked our session but haven’t gotten a bill</p>

<p>Kathleen, </p>

<p>I just checked my orientation response form. The availabilities of the seven sessions are still “open”.</p>

<p>that’s so weird, it definitely still says “full” for me. :/</p>

<p>Mine show all open too. You might want to call.</p>

<p>kathleen21- What school are you in? Each school may be limited for which orientation you can attend. I think Arts and Sciences can go to all of them, but it might say full if you’re not in A&S.</p>

<p>I called and got in, the guy said he had no idea why it said it was full. oh well, it’s fixed! i’m in lynch btw, but the other sessions that lynch students can’t attend just say “ineligible”</p>

<p>helicoptermom-When you receive your tuition/room/board bill for the first semester, it will include a line item for orientation.</p>
