<p>Can anyone comment on what freshmen orientation days were like last year? The info will not be up until July and I would really like to know earlier in order to plan the trip better. I am mainly wondering about what is planned (if anything) for parents, from August 29 - Sept 1. Thanks!</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat, singer, but this article piqued my interest that perhaps we can't really go by prior years' events and schedules. It looks like there is a possibility of revision of the opening days, for both students and parents. I hope someone can give us a little more guidance soon, particularly if there are events for parents on Sunday. I need to buy plane tickets....</p>
<p>Yale</a> Daily News - Univ. to reevaluate freshman orientation</p>
<p>Parents can go to the presidents address, and events at the master's house. Maybe there are other things... but its really not necessary for parents to come to orientation, especially if they'd have to take a plane.</p>
<p>Thanks riverrunner, I guess we will have to wait and see. As it is now I am returning home Monday morning.</p>
<p>riverrunner Thanks for the link. My D will not be doing any of the pre-orientation programs before freshmen orientation ..she wants to work as long as possible. I hope this wont be a problem.</p>
