Parents Forum

<p>For complicated reasons I won't go into now, need to know of any colleges or universities like this.</p>

<p>Do any parents have kids attending a school that meets this criterion?</p>

2

<p>Most of the UCs start well into September (with the exception of Berkeley) with UC Davis and I think UCLA starting the last week of September.</p>

3

<p>U of Oregon doesn't start until late September.</p>

4

<p>Stanford starts at the end of September. So does Northwestern, I think, and other schools that are on quarter system.</p>

<p>Swarthmore starts usually at the very beginning of September.</p>

5

<p>I think Carleton starts later. I believe they are on the trimester system.</p>

6

<p>Ohio State Univ: Sept</a>. 24</p>

7

<p>Are you asking for the "regular" start date or the beginning of frosh orientation?</p>

8

<p>Johns Hopkins University</p>

<p>First day of classes Fall 2008: September 4</p>

<p>However, Orientation for all new students is August 29-September 3</p>

9

<p>University of Cincinnati. And I may be wrong but public universities in the state of Michigan start the Tuesday after Labor Day (at least that was the case last year).</p>

10

<p>The University of Chicago usually starts classes the last Monday in September. First-year and transfer-student orientation begins nine days before that.</p>

11

<p>U Penn New Students Sept 2, Classes Sept 3 2008. I believe Northwestern, Princeton, and Stanford start after the first. Perhaps 2 to 3 weeks in.</p>

12

<p>I believe Northwestern, Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth also have late starts, but you'll want to double-check. New England schools are least likely to begin late; in general, the farther west you go, the more schools you'll find on the trimester/quarter system, which all tend to start late.</p>

13

<p>Northwestern's first day of classes is usually around the 25th of September. Dartmouth, Princeton also start around then.</p>

14

<p>Union College starts late. University of Rochester starts classes after Labor Day.</p>

15

<p>Oregon State has a late start. September 24ish</p>

<p>as Mentioned above look for schools on the quarter system</p>

16

<p>I think University of Washington starts late.</p>

17

<p>Western Washington University, in Bellingham, WA, begins Sept. 26th. Great school!</p>

18

<p>Santa Clara University...mid September (around the 17th). As noted, most schools on the quarter system have these later starting dates.</p>

19

<p>Seattle Pacific</p>

20

<p>Even classes at Boston University start the week after Labor Day. That is always after Sept 1.</p>
