<p>What time do parents have to show up? Is it a whole day event for parents or is it just for dinner? Thanks ahead for any info.</p>
<p>You can do it either way - do as much or as little as you want.</p>
<p>We attended the March 3/4 Explore (I assume these sessions will be similar) and arrived at about 11am. At the check-in area they had fruit and granola bars and coffee and lemonaide. They give you an agenda - very similar to the online one you can print, and you have until 2pm to choose from several activities. D and I took a bus tour of the neighborhood, and campus tours were available also (you have time for both, if you wish.) There is a financial aid session (very informative), and a Thematic Option presentation. At 2pm was the official welcome (don't miss it - it is fun!) and then they split the group up by major and take you to an info session. We went to the CLAS session, and a professor gave a mini lecture - he was GREAT. After that, you and your child split up and they go off to meet up with their host and do some evening activities. Parents had an evening reception to meet other parents and a nice dinner with a faculty member joining each table. The next day there was a breakfast, a housing session (don't miss it - housing is VERY confusing to me!), a session about campus security, and a student panel followed by lunch. There was LOTS for parents to do the entire time, and lots of your questions will be answered. Have fun!</p>
<p>Thank you for the info. D told me she signed up for one day. I guess the 2 days event are for students intervieweing for Trustee/Presidential scholarship. I'm wondering if she will be missing the second day which has the housing info.</p>
<p>I don't think you'll miss anything! - they probably condense it into a single day and really keep you running around! The housing is so confusing (soooo many options and each one has a different price!) and parents are so concerned about campus safety I feel certain they will include that. If there is too much for you to do everything, split up and let your D choose what she wants to attend and you go to the ones that are important to you. My D wanted me there, but she also wanted a chance to explore the campus on her own and imagine herself as a student there without her lame mom trailing along behind. Have fun!</p>

<p>I have gotten 2 updates and a link to Oasis. Where is Explore USC ? I don’t have a link to it, nor can I find it anywhere on the website. HELP please! Thanks!</p>
<p>This thread is from last year - so don’t pay attention to the dates above!!! They are all 2008.</p>
<p>to access the explore usc reservations you need to go to Visit USC - and try to log in under admitted students</p>
