<p>I was planning on going to the session 5 of the student orientation because I live all the way on the other side in Washington state. When I was going through some of the threads on CC, it appears that those who come to the student orientation at a later date are unable to get the choices that they want when they register for fall courses. Is this true? Also, if you were to come on the session 5 dates, August 23-24, do you move into the dorms right away? August 24 seems to be the date that everyone is moving in.</p>

<p>ALSO, where does it indicate your major? I never really found out since I applied using Common App... :(</p>

<p>Answer I found on the board:</p>

<p>You are welcome to attend any Student Orientation (SO) session that you would like; we simply reserve the last session for students traveling long distances to minimize their travel costs. Each SO session has a set number or seats reserved for each class - this way, there is no advantage/disadvantage to any SO session. Generally, the first week of classes sees a large number of drops and additions, so even if a course is filled during registration it is typically very easy to get into that class by the first week.</p>

<p>As for my other two questions, I would extremely appreciate it if someone could answer them. :)</p>

<p>You move into the dorms right away if you are SO5.</p>

<p>Your major right now doesn’t matter because you can change it at the desk you sign in at anyway, they will have your name and information there</p>
