<p>Why isn't there a place on the website to register for an overnight? Are they not arranged officially?</p>
<p>They are not offered by the school unless you are admitted. I believe</p>
<p>DS got in EA. I guess one of us will call the office.</p>
<p>I don’t believe they offer overnights, but maybe I’m wrong since the admitted student days are two days.</p>
<p>They tell you upfront that they don’t do overnights during admitted students days, but I assumed they did them at other times.</p>
<p>So are the admitted student days two separate one-day events for two groups of students or is the event two days and the out-of-town students expected to find lodging for the night? Thanks.</p>
<p>burry, they’re expected to find lodging overnight. Here’s what it says in the GAAP brochure FAQ:</p>
<p>"Will I be able to stay on campus overnight with a current student?</p>
<p>“Due to the high volume of students expected at each Open House, we will not be able to provide overnight on campus housing, nor are we able to provide any type of compensation or reimbursement for your travel expenses. We believe that when you attend an Open house you will receive the full Georgetown experience. …”</p>
<p>That’s unfortunate for us, because we can’t send ds on his own. He’s 17 and can’t rent a hotel room. So, if we are going to have to pay for a hotel room and an accompanying parent, we may as well go at another time when he CAN do an overnight.</p>
<p>Many students stay with other students from your hometown or nearby. Maybe your guidance counselor an provide you with names.</p>
<p>What is the agenda like for the Gaap days?</p>
<p>Georgetown should really ask current students if they would host admitted students. I’m sure many would, and other than organizing it (which students would volunteer to do) it would not be much bother to the university.</p>
<p>Ds asked GC, and there’s one kid there right now from his HS. It’s someone he knows of but doesn’t know well, and he thinks it would be kind of odd to have this kind of forced familiarity with someone he doesn’t really know. He’d rather room with a stranger, I think. We’ll keep working on it …</p>
