<p>What are the dates for freshman orientation? Is there a family weekend sometime after the first quarter begins? Our family has to put in for vacation now and so it would be helpful to know the dates..thanks!</p>
<p>It's typically in the middle of October if I recall correctly... but the official date hasn't been announced yet.</p>
<p>Thanks, Ben!</p>
<p>November 4 is New Students Parents Day according to the Caltech calendar.</p>
<p>ooh really. I'm just an imbecile. Thanks, Ellen! :)</p>
