<p>My questions are 1) When do freshmen get their housing offers? I found somewhere on their site that said April 7th but clearly that wasn't for freshmen. And 2) Does it matter which orientation I attend, like will I get to register for classes first if I choose an earlier one? Thanks for any input!</p>
<p>IIRC april 7th was the deadline to submit housing materials and the offers came sometime mid-summer. Also, as of 2008, attending the earlier orientation sessions DID in fact allow you to register for classes before the students attending the later sessions.</p>
<p>@dontcha I don’t think April 7th was the deadline, I submitted mine after and most freshman haven’t even committed yet by then. Also is it a big deal to register earlier, should I do my best to get an early orientation? </p>

<p>… sorry I was going off of 6 year old memories =D. And yes, I would register for orientation as soon as you are able to sign up. Although most classes will be filled up with returning students regardless, so it’s not a huge, huge deal</p>
<p>All info about orientation, including dates, is here:</p>

<p>Housing deadline is 4pm this Thursday, and getting your application in early gives you no priority.</p>
