Real Length of Orientation

<p>Can anyone tell me how long the orientation realistically takes? I know they say be there by 7:30 and done by 9. But is this true?!? Will I really be there almost 14 hours?? Someone who has gone through it please fill me in.</p>

<p>what the hell. orientation is like 3 days long lol.</p>

<p>Well it’s 3 days, but if you take out all the exploring, bonding, ice breakers, etc, etc… I dunno…
To me, orientation consists of all the workshops and class scheduling AND the meeting new people part… So 3 days :)</p>

<p>but if you don’t think this way… it varies from person to person… some people do not have to take placement tests (since they got placed out) and I think the counseling is different by college… Since engineers have different requirements compared to someone doing letters and sciences… yup…</p>

<p>maybe hes talking about transfer orientation but i thought that ended in the evening and not late night?</p>

<p>Will there be sufficient time to aimlessly stroll around campus on our own?</p>

<p>How much free time is there? If I’m taking a class, I won’t be too busy to get to a lecture, right?</p>

<p>Yea sorry I forgot to mention it was for transfers.</p>

<p>Going to 1 day orientation for transfer students. Does anyone know exactly what time it is over. I am tring to schedule flight times.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>the transfer orientation is from 730 am to 9 pm. Transfers get to sign up for classes at 8 pm… but that depends on which orientation you are attending.</p>

<p>Are you serious? What the he11 do you do for 12 hours before you sign up?</p>

<p>activities, meet people, have a full tour of the campus, meet with counselors, have lunch, etc. etc. lol</p>

<p>haha o good lord. What an action packed day. Is it easy to register for classes or should I bring my laptop?</p>

<p>you should bring your laptop so u can see the schedule as it is updated and also, you sign up online. Im definately bringing mine</p>
