<p>When does school start- as in, you go down and stay there? Assuming that I get on campus housing. I scheduled for the late August NSC because I was hoping I wouldn't have to fly down just for the two days of the NSC (I live in NJ, I'd like to avoid the airfare if I could) and then back, and then classes start a few weeks later. Also, I'm applying for the Champe-Fitzhugh Italy trip, which I really hope I'll get, and that's in July. </p>

<p>Additionally, I found out the August NSC interferes with sorority recruitment. I plan on rushing, so does anyone know if it's going to be a big problem? </p>

<p>I never got the NSC pamphlet or information in the mail, so I'm a bit lost on all this, though I did read what I could find online. Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>You will not be able to rush and do the NSC if it is in the same week. I do know that for sure.</p>

5

<p>It’s best to go to an early NSC to get the best selection of classes.</p>

6

<p>How many people are at each NSC?</p>

7

<p>My son signed up several weeks back and could only get mid-July. I think all the early dates are already gone.</p>

<p>I signed up a week ago and got one in June.</p>

<p>Wow… wonder if they open more throughout the summer. Thanks for that info!</p>

<p>Thanks so much everyone! jbg, that link was super helpful (:</p>

<p>I rescheduled mine to July 13-14, as I was accepted to the Champe-Fitzhugh trip, which leaves from Houston July 15- how perfect is that!</p>

<p>Does anyone know- is it standard for parents to come with you? And if you get on-campus housing, when is move-in? For that matter, when (generally) would move-in be for other housing?</p>

<p>Thanks again guys! I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Having parents coming with makes your life a little bit easier. Good having people to talk/accompany you, pay & drive lol.</p>

<p>Move in is the week before classes start (Gig’em Week), which was August 31 for Fall '09. Looks like August 23rd according to [Gig</a> 'Em Week Schedule | Offices of the Dean of Student Life - Texas A&M](<a href=“http://studentlife.tamu.edu/nsp/GEW_Schedule]Gig”>http://studentlife.tamu.edu/nsp/GEW_Schedule). What do you mean for other housing?</p>

<p>I meant apartment housing, but I guess that’d be whenever your lease starts, usually August right? Thanks a bunch (:</p>
