<p>Hi, I’m pretty pumped about this welcome week thing! I was wondering how long it’ll be going on timewise because I was hoping to catch some of the US Open (tennis nut here!) when I get down NYU. Is the day going to be pretty full or will there be down time in the afternoon and evening?</p>
<p>Most of the popular events are at night, to be honest. A schedule should be going live online soon.</p>
<p>gracias! This is unrelated, but how long do we have to change courses because I want to get out of writing the essay and into culture and commerce?</p>
<p>You have until about a week and a half into the semester to change classes. You can change them right now. You do not want to miss too many classes by switching them around in the beginning of the semester.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>And 2010gradkid, I dont think its possible to get out of “writing the essay”. Its the one class all freshmen have to take (unless your in LSP, and then you take “writing one”). My friend took both English AP’s and they told her no matter what her scores were she had to take that class.</p>
<p>Hi, would 3 or 4 classes in one day be too overwhelming? My schedule is kind of hard to shift because a lot of the remaining open classes that I want to take seem to all fall on one day :(</p>
<p>It almost inevitable that you will have 1 or 2 days that you will have to load up on classes. Fridays are generally free of lectures. Classes will typically be MWF or Tues. Thurs. with recitations mixed in. That being said, your other days should not be as heavy.</p>
<p>It depends on the class. Class sizes range all the way up to 200 or even more possibly, especially for those introductory classes. In those cases, your chances will naturally be higher.</p>
<p>Thanks! & Do you know which number I can call to see if I can get an access code for a collegiate seminar? Albert says to contact the department offering it, but when I clicked on the link they gave me, the number was “not in service”.</p>
<p>Guys just to clarify Orientation is August 29’th right? Reading this thread makes it seem like it’s a lot sooner or something. Also, parents are supposed to accompany you to orientation right? To help move in and stuff?</p>
<p>thestorm,</p>
<p>August 29 is Move in Day for the dorms. It also kicks off WELCOME WEEK for the students.</p>
<p>You are confusing it with Orientation Sessions. The last Orientation session for CAS ended today at around 3 PM.</p>
<p>@thestorm: Are you in Stern? If so here is the orientation info from the admitted students webpage:</p>
<hr>
<p>Leonard N. Stern School of Business</p>
<p>Orientation for entering freshmen will take place during Welcome Week, August 30-September 3. An optional orientation will be offered on Friday, June 11, but it is not required.
Admitted students will receive additional information at the end of May. For additional information, call Student Life at 212-998-0277 or visit the website at [NYU</a> Stern | Plan for Orientation](<a href=“http://www.stern.nyu.edu/orientation]NYU”>http://www.stern.nyu.edu/orientation).</p>
<p>Yes, I am in Stern and thanks for clarifying that up! I think part of NYU’s website still displays info from last year because I remember getting Emails telling me orientation was from the 30’th but the website says the 29’th at some places. So just to clarify move in is on the 29’th and Orientation starts on the 30th. Is there a specific time we should be at our dorms to move in? Also, I sent NYU an email earlier asking if parents typically accompany students to orientation and they said that parents shouldn’t/don’t, but I assume parents accompany their kids to help facilitate the move in correct? Thank you so much for all the help guys!</p>
<p>Whether parents help or not is pretty subjective towards each individual family. For example I did not drive to school, instead I brought a few suitcases and my parents didn’t come along. Even if one is able to bring everything on their own, some parents accompany them anyway as it can be emotional for either the child or their parents. Either way there will be orientation helpers to make sure you get settled.</p>
<p>Ao - what did you do with the suitcases? It sounds like there is NO storage room in the dorms and hopefully my D will be in a LCT at Hayden.</p>
<p>I was a transfer so I was in one of the upperclassmen dorms, although I have been in the freshmen dorms as well. Most people slide them under their beds.</p>
<p>When it says that the dorm has an “exercise room and dance studio”, does that mean its just a big room to work out in or does the dorm have actual equipment to use?</p>
<p>They have stuff inside them, like maybe 1 treadmill, 1 bike, and a lat pulldown machine. Sounds like you are in 3rd North? The dance studio there is big enough and has mirrors on the walls etc. None of the workout rooms in the dorms are really that great, unless you just want to run. Better off going to Palladium or Coles.</p>
<p>Thanks, I didnt get my dorm assignment but 3rd North is my 4th choice (and last hope for getting into a LCT). Do all of the dorms have those types of rooms? I thought I read that Hayden and Rubin did, but I dont know anything about the others.</p>
<p>Have any of you incoming freshman gotton your NYU id cards as of yet. If so, please post where this is done and what you need to bring with you…thanx</p>
<p>Freshmen receive ID cards during their Orientation session or during Welcome Week. Welcome Week Leaders and RAs will be bringing freshmen over to the NYU ID Center. You need a state ID or a passport. Here is all the information you need:</p>
