<p>You can arrive in the morning (if you live closely or within a few hours drive) and leave the next day staying one night in the dorm -- since you already pay for it.</p>
<p>If your parents attend orientation with you they will be grouped with other parents and stay in the dorm too -- separately -- mom with the rest of the moms, dad with the dads. You'll stay with your future classmates.</p>
<p>anyone know, if we are not living in the dorms, do we still have to stay overnight for orientation? or can we go home at the end of the day and come back</p>
<p>No, you don't get any information on your future roommates at orientation. However, you will be "bonding" with some of your future classmates (i.e. those in your college).</p>
