<p>Or do we have to stay in the dorms for the two nights?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you’re treated as an adult and you’re allowed to do anything that isn’t illegal or against school policy. I doubt you’ll be refunded any money if you do commute so might as well stay on campus and get the dorm-room feel.</p>
<p>You can but you would miss out on the “bonding” activities and the social aspects of the experience. My daughter met one of her best friends at orientation. They were in the same group and ended up sending lots of time together. She has become very good friends with this girl and even went home and spent Easter weekeed with her family. None of this is mandatory but being there overnight could really enhance the experience for you.</p>
<p>you pay the same fee regardless, so why would you throw away “free” housing and food?</p>
<p>You don’t HAVE to stay, but you have to pay for staying.</p>
<p>actually you would have to pay more for NOT staying. orientation fee + 3x daily parking.</p>
<p>Unless you take the bus and have a flash pass</p>
<p>If money is a concern then you can just forgo orientation altogether. Most people don’t meet any “lifelong friends” during a 3 day orientation. You have 4-5 years for that in college.</p>
<p>All the info you need can be found online and placement exams can be taken later.</p>
<p>Of course if money is not an issue, then yeah go its fun.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the responses! Does anybody know what time events start to take place each morning? And what time they end each night? Or is it a you’re-on-your-own-schedule type of thing?</p>
