<p>I think the title is pretty self-explanatory 
Im going June 10-12th and want to bring a friend. Is that allowed? Or do they have to find other housing?</p>
<p>This is the most absurd questions I’ve ever seen–no.</p>
<p>Aw :(. My best friend was planning on coming for one of the days.</p>
<p>“This is the most absurd questions[sic] I’ve ever seen”
This is the most absurd spelling I have ever seen. </p>
<p>Instead of answering in a condescending way, just answer my question.</p>
<p>Sic? I answered the question posed in the topic. Go ahead, be a weirdo and bring a friend to orientation. Absolutely immature and ridiculous…</p>
<p>“I answered the question posed in the topic.”
With an absolutely ridiculous attitude. If the question bothered you so much you didnt have to answer. Just move along. </p>
<p>“Sic?”
Yes. Sic. A Latin word inserted when quoting someone with a typo. </p>
<p>“Go ahead, be a weirdo and bring a friend to orientation”
Yes. Of course. I have been to like thousands on freshman college orientations so I should be an expert on this sort of thing. Why am I even on a board to find out these things? </p>
<p>"Absolutely immature and ridiculous… "
Your manner of answering questions from high school students is (to say the least) immature and ridiculous. No one forced you to click the topic. No one forced you to type a response. Don’t act like I’m wasting your time since you obviously have nothing better to do.</p>
<p>Don’t bring your friend. You will have to attend meetings about registering for classes in your major. Your focus should be on getting acquainted with your new environment and meeting new classmates. First impressions of you will be not favorable because you felt the need to bring a friend not attending your college in the fall. People may think you are clingy and insecure because you can’t be alone with strangers.</p>
<p>If you bring, say, a sister, I believe she’d have to stay elsewhere, not in your room, so I think it’s safe to assume a friend wouldn’t do better.</p>
<p>Find someone from your hs going to the same orientation session and hang out with them.
If you must bring a friend be aware they will not have the requisite name tag worn by all incoming students to get into events and programs. Of course, your friend will not be allowed to stay with you, it would not be fair to your orientation roommate to assume that they will be cool with it. Contact your college if this is important to you.</p>
<p>Go ahead, weirdo, bring a friend to orientation. Seriously, what could possibly be going through your head? It’s orientation, not a social gathering…</p>
<p>Oh, come on: be nice.</p>
<p>You really can’t bring a friend though. They certainly won’t be able to stay with you in Rich Hall and won’t be able to eat with you either. And even if you go with a friend from hs you’ll be separated basically all of Thursday and Friday except for Thursday evening.</p>
<p>The thing about it is that your friend is not going to be with you come August 29(30 for L-Z). I think this is a mini-glimpse of college life. I know my sister said that orientation was so fun and that her “new” friends never slept because they stayed up all night hanging out. That’s the beauty of it. These complete strangers are going to be a part of your life somehow now - so it’s time not to forget your past, but realize that that past and present don’t usually mix well because they’re opposing directions. So make the most of your orientation, bringing a friend will hinder your opportunities of making new acquaintances and new relationships. If your friend was there you’d have an obligation to keeping him or her entertained - and thus, you would not be able to engage in the social interactions that every other new freshman (myself included) will be engaged in come June 10 (I am also going to that orientation). </p>
<p>PS - I promise I’m not that boring where you need to bring a friend for company.</p>
<p>you’re calling people weirdo?
Some body has a question… so they ask a question. then *<strong><em>ers like you think their hot *</em></strong> and put down questions, cause you’re so smart?</p>
<p>Get a life buddy, you’re definitely an anti social reject. “weirdo”</p>
<p>Guys Be nice. Just ignore what diontechristmas says and reply to the thread. That would be helpful for the OP. But OP, I don’t think it’s a really good idea. I know my friend’s brother wanted to go with him. So he called the student service and they said no. If siblings aren’t allowed, I would say friends won’t be allowed either. Only parents allowed and they will be separated from you as soon as you enter into the orientation. Meet new people, make some friends and have fun.</p>
<p>sibs can go but they have to be with the parents.</p>
<p>When DS did orientation, sibs had “events” for sibs only while the parents did parent things and the college students did college student things. There were NOT very many sibs…and they did not stay with the students.</p>
<p>oh right sorry I just meant I don’t think you can just bring a sibling with you without a parent coming as well.</p>
<p>Actually during my orientation i met atleast three students who brought friends with them and found it odd but its not uncommon.</p>
<p>Thanks (to most) for the replies.
My inquiry was more general than it was specific. I wasnt sure if my friend was coming or not, but wanted to find out beforehand. SBR thank you very much.</p>
