As orientation time is almost here for families of latest freshman, please tell us about your experience. Did you like it?
Here is this year thread about orientations this summer. You probably can get some info reading it.
Thought it was a little too much for the parents. We left halfway through so we could get on the road. A truly great program for the student. For them it lasted 4 days right before class started. S got to know tons of kids, make friends, etc. For parents they spent a lot of time talking about separation anxiety and other issues. I was interested in listening to the President and Provost speeches, meet up with S for one more nice lunch and then on the road.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Closing thread since there is already one on this topic.
