<p>alright, so I have orientation later this month [25-27]
and I’m on the verge of freaking out and really REALLY confused.
so, to anyone who could help it would be really appreciated!</p>

<p>1] I get to Boston tuesday, june 24 around 10am and I planned on just staying there at the dorm. Does anyone know where I go to check in and stuff ?</p>

<p>2] I signed up to take my writing assessment on Wednesday, but I kind of really regret that after hearing so much about Common Ground. Am I the only one that did this? Was I supposed to sign up for Common Ground somewhere or was it more of a when-you-get-there-thing? Is there any way I can change it?</p>

<p>I probably have more concerns,
I just can’t think of any. THANKKK YOU IN ADVANCE!</p>

<p>You go to West Campus. You'll see signs. If you take the T, you get to Government Center from the airport, go upstairs and take a B train. Get off at Babcock Street, which is above ground.</p>

3

<p>This is off-topic, but do we have to bring blankets, sheets, pillows, or anything like that to orientation? Will they be provided for us?</p>

<p>Call. Admissiions connects you to orientation. They'll answer all your questions. Usually students or former students are on the other end of the line. Don't freak out!!!</p>

<p>It's okay, I found it online. I've never called Boston U. XD Their hours are horrible. =/ When they close, I get home from school. -_- Though, now I'm in summer, so that's good.</p>

<p>When is everyone on this board going to orientation? I'm going July 16-18</p>

<p>im going tomorrow, june 11-13!!!</p>

<p>wooohoooo :)</p>

<p>heh oh wow they start tomorrow? I'll be here... : )</p>

<p>Don't have to bring sheets.</p>

<p>Don't worry about not doing Common Ground. If you really want to go, there are often extra spots. Just ask when you sign in for Orientation. Otherwise, there are city trips on Wednesday night that are just as fun.</p>

<p>Have a little fan with you. The city is a furnace now.</p>

11

<p>Yeah it's roughly a thousand degrees right now. I'm debating walking all the way to FitRec ugh...</p>

12

<p>It's not really the heat, it's the humidity. Gross.</p>

13

<p>No, it's the heat. </p>

<p>Thunder storms coming through. Yippeee!</p>

14

<p>Only Tuesday was bad. It was really hot, after that it got breezy. I'm here now. ^_^</p>

15

<p>i'm going this wednesday. it's actually supposed to be chilly so i'm excited about that :D
i live in miami and this damn heat and humidity has been killing me.</p>

16

<p>it's actually kinda rainy atm, bring an umbrella, raincoat and some rainboots perhaps :)</p>

<p>enjoy orientation! it was a great experience! and common ground was kinda meh. don't worry too much you're missing ALOT from it, but you do get to known some people from other schools beforehand which was kinda nice. i hung out with my commonground peeps later on in the year too, but later you lose touch... the activities were kinda dorky, haha.</p>
