<p>I actually stole this question from the Syracuse Forums thing but I had the same question...
"Anyone know when freshman orientation usually is held? is it a few days before the fall semester starts? or in the middle of summer? thanks."- Billy's Mom</p>
<p>anyone know?</p>
<p>Orientation last summer had 2 different options for SOM, Watson and Decker kids, and I think 4 other orientation dates for the Harpur kids. They are scattered throughout the summer starting in like late june/early july. If you can't make those, you get to move in 1 day earlier than the Freshman move-in day. It's an overnight where you stay in the dorms and have activities. Make sure to go to busi.binghamton.edu ahead of time and check out what classes you would like to take, because on the first night, you get this book to make a schedule, and you make it the second day (you may get closed out of classes, so make sure to do lots of options). Orientation is also required, and it's a really good experience.</p>
