<p>I just got done with orientation if you have any questions</p>
<p>Haha, I was going to make a similar post, as we also just finished orientation. I wonder if we saw you, Yankees. I can provide feedback from a parent’s perspective, or I can get my daughter to answer any student questions. But we’re not home yet, we decided to tack on a weekend trip to Louisville. We’ve never been to KY before!</p>
<p>I was extremely impressed with how well organized the two days were, and especially how friendly everyone was. And it’s exciting to leave with your schedule in hand. Each trip to IU further cements our confidence that my daughter made the right decision with IU!</p>
<p>I feel the same way. 100% positive experience…only criticism students/parents complaining about housing assignments and the amount of people who smoke. Coming from California not used to that at all</p>
<p>Wow, we didn’t see anyone smoking these past two days. This was our 5th IU visit and we’ve never seen much smoking. I hope your experience was unusual. We also didn’t hear complaints about housing but I see them here on CC. DD is thrilled that she got her first choice - KLCC.</p>
<p>I did as well, and I just thought I’d tell everyone that the real math placement test is much easier than the online one. I actually did worse on it than the online simply because I was prepared for more advanced math. Just a heads up.</p>

<p>I thought the same about the math placement test. I got my results but not sure what they even mean</p>
<p>Heading to Orientation this coming week. Do you leave with a schedule and a bill? lol</p>
<p>Lindy, I do believe they charge you $130.00 (around that) and more for however many guests you register. This will be automatically charged towards your bursar account.</p>
<p>We must have all been orientation at once. I started on Wednesday and ended yesterday. I was Group 1 if by any chance that was any CCers group. I do agree the in person placement was much easier. Still didn’t test up to my standards, though, even after high grades in HS math courses. I’m registering for summer calculus as we speak at a CC. </p>
<p>My only complaint was the confusion regarding advising appointments. I believe most of you are already in Hutton here. I had to call FYE to clear up where I was supposed to meet with an advisor because of the lack of signs/information my group leader gave me (I even asked).</p>
<p>LindyN…you leave with your schedule but the bill is not due until August 10th</p>
<p>Students, I highly recommend staying on campus overnight between the two days of your orientation. You stay in the Union Street apartments, which are 4 single rooms with 2 bathrooms and 4 sinks opening to a common area with a kitchen. If you find someone on the first day of orientation that you want to room with, just check in together, as they do room assignments in check-in order. But if you don’t find anyone, random will be fine too. My daughter found one girl to room with and had fun with the other two random girls too. Plus staying overnight will give you a feel for walking around campus. Depending on the location, your advisor meeting may be a bit of a hike from Union Street.</p>
<p>What’s up yankees I have a july 2/3 orientation and I have a few questions:</p>
<p>1.) Is it really easy to schedule for classes? I’m a Kelley student and wish to take as many business courses as possible, but realize GenEd’s are required, which classes did you choose?</p>
<p>2.) I’ve been looking at some professor grades online, can we pick and choose which professor we would like?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot in advance!</p>

<p>I got all the classes/times I wanted but I went to the first orientation date. If available you can pick your teachers based on the sections you select. I was able to get two business classes, 2 classes for my major, public speaking and a religion course. Not sure if you want to take a lot of business classes at once. Might be better/easier to balance with general ed courses</p>
<p>ao8capsIU, not Yankees but I had orientation this week and can help.</p>
<p>1) Scheduling for classes is really easy. If you’re a Kelley DA student, you’ll have an advising appointment before you actually register for classes with a Kelley advisor who will go over all the pre-reqs and ICore requirements with you. You’ll leave that office with a printed sample schedule you’ll have agreed upon, with alternatives, and take that to the library where student volunteers will show you hit to register for classes via OneStart.</p>
<p>2) Before orientation I did research professors. However, when you get in the library to enroll in classes, you may feel overwhelmed while trying to build your schedule and many students face time conflicts with exam and discussion days. I completely ignored the professor part, just choosing the time and place I wanted the course to fit in my schedule. You do get two free business days before they start charging you if you want to add/drop a class. You could research the professors in that time.</p>
<p>Edit: Was on my phone app that hadn’t updated, didn’t realize Yankees already answered. Sorry!</p>
<p>Yankee, I think u have mentioned before that u are an honors student. Did you have a meeting with an academic advisor from Hutton as well or just a general advisor? Also, thanks for the all the information you have been posting!</p>
<p>3Triplet: Hutton Honors students meet with a Hutton advisor only–no general advisor–for the most part. DS met with an advisor from his school as he was a direct admit. That advisor was well versed in Hutton requirements. Honors students will have the Hutton advisor until they are accepted into their college or school. Then they will have an advisor in their major or school.</p>
<p>Orientation housing question - </p>
<p>Do we need to bring our own bedding?</p>
<p>I am curious what the procedure for the kids overnight personal effects during orientation. Don’t they carry their things with them all day? Check them in somewhere? Any suggestions on what to bring? Someone mentioned they are housed at Union, but I heard somewhere else that it could be anywhere on campus.</p>
<p>3Triplet: I met with honors advisor who helped me pick my classes</p>
<p>mama1317: I checked my bag at Wright in the morning (they lock them up) and then after dinner picked it up and checked in at Union Street. Everything was very organized and there are signs telling you where to go and what to do</p>
<p>Zville: they provide all linens/towels</p>
<p>Wonderful, thank you Yankees!</p>
<p>Coste, thank you very much! That answer helps me a lot!</p>
