<p>Hey, so i'm gonna be a freshman next year and I have a really close friend who won't be in school until october. He wants to visit and I would love to host him. He wants to come up for 5 days which is fine with me (I'm gonna be in a single). But the problem is, he's gonna be visiting a week and a half into freshman year. Is this too early to have a visitor? Will the other kids think it's weird? Thanks</p>
<p>Okay; and if the majority says it is weird, you’re going to uninvite him?</p>
<p>If he’s a “close” friend like you say he is, there shouldn’t be a problem. He’s going to be there for 5 days, not 5 months. So you devoting 5 days to your friend isn’t going to sting your social life.</p>
<p>It’s not weird, but check your dorm’s guest regulations. For some reason my dorm last year didn’t allow overnight guests until like the 3rd full week of class each semester.</p>
<p>My school had a policy where we weren’t allowed to have visitors until 6 weeks into freshman year. The reason behind it was that we were supposed to be getting to know other freshmen at our school. I don’t think anyone will think it’s weird that he’s visiting you so early into the year, but you should make sure that you keep socializing with other people in your hall. I know at my school people are the most social during the first weeks of freshman year because they’re trying to find their niche. I know I met the main group of girls I hang out with the first few weeks, so make sure you try & meet people!</p>
<p>Duuuude… **** what other people think. Do what you want</p>
<p>If your school says it’s fine, then go for it. Why wouldn’t you?</p>
<p>As others stated, check your visitation rules. We could only host guests for 48 hours, any longer and we had to get special permission.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you would want him to stay for you that long. Singles are small for one person, let alone 2. What is he going to be doing while you are in class?</p>
