<p>when is orientation?</p>
<p>starts when you get here and move in, running for a week.</p>
<p>yeah, and when does it start? and do your parents stay with you the whole week? no right? do they stay with you at all? or do they leave right after move in day? is move in day the first day of NSO?</p>
<p>According to the academic calendar, <a href="http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/3yearcal.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/3yearcal.html</a>,
y'all move in on August 30th. NSO starts that evening, generally. There are some people who move in about a week earlier for various reasons.</p>
<p>and there's other stuff for your parents to do when you're running around (wait til the nso website goes up with the class of 2011 info).</p>
<p>in general most parents leave after move-in day.</p>
