<p>Emily2007or Neuchimie (or anyone else) , do either of you know when they will put out information about Freshman orientation?</p>

<p>Um… I seem to recall it wasn’t for a while… I definitely signed up for mine before school ended (May). But I do remember that other schools, typically the massive state schools, were having dozens of orientations in the spring while school was still going- and I hadn’t even gotten my info yet. So don’t worry about it too much.</p>

<p>Thank you- Not really worried, I was just trying to plan. :slight_smile: I assume some will be in June and some in July? 2 Nites?</p>

<p>From what I recall, each college will have a choice of 3 orientation dates. I believe there’s one each in June, July, and August. Only one night.</p>

<p>You can do two nights though. You can pay a little extra to arrive the night before, if you’re from far away and don’t want/can’t come in at 8am.</p>

<p>I think there were a lot of Orientation sessions to choose from. </p>

<p>We vacation with family on Cape Cod each summer, so it was easy for us to join my son for orientation. </p>

<p>All students stay in the dorms. NEU offered parent accommodations in the on-campus apartments. (I think cost to add parents was $60/night per parent, including food in the cafeteria. It’s actually a pretty good deal considering Boston hotel costs). We stayed 2 nights. The first night we were the only ones in the apartment. For the second night, there was another couple there too. That actually turned out to be a neat thing.</p>

<p>I understand that students admitted into the honors program come for a whole week of orientation activities. Does anyone know how that fits in with the general orientation?</p>

<p>Honors students are there for a full week of Welcome Week activities, which means that they just move-in like three days before other freshmen move in (although lots of other freshmen move in early for various reasons too) in September (because all freshmen have a few days of Welcome Week activities anyways-- the honors program just has a few more).</p>
