<p>I will have to purchase an airplane ticket and I want to know by when I am required to be on campus. I'm guessing its sometime in the second half of August but I want the exact date.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t really suggest purchasing a plane ticket until you get in, at which point I think they’ll be letting you know, but you’ll need to be there on August 28 if you do get in ([Georgetown</a> University Registrar | 2010-2011 Academic Calendar](<a href=“http://registrar.georgetown.edu/calendars/2010-2011.htm]Georgetown”>http://registrar.georgetown.edu/calendars/2010-2011.htm)), that’s a Saturday. Depending on what dorm you’re living in, they’ll give you a more specific suggested time, and I actually moved in on Friday night when I started. If you’re coming from a long way away, you may want to plan to arrive a day early.</p>
<p>^ Thank You. The thing is that I have to leave the country and if I will purchase round trip tickets, it will cost less. Thats problematic since I do not know whether I am going back to my old school or whether I am going to DC. I think it is still better to get round trip tickets to my old school several days earlier and then fly to DC if necessary. Otherwise, they might not have tickets back to the US immediately if I wait to purchase it from abroad. I’m really confused.</p>
