<p>do any of u know when the official freshman orientation is (i guess the first day for freshman at Cornell)? If I remember corectly from my packet, is it around 8/17~19? I need to make a reservation at Statler hotel and plane tickets and stuff..</p>
<p>August 18th. <a href="http://www.cornell.edu/academics/calendar/%5B/url%5D">http://www.cornell.edu/academics/calendar/</a></p>
<p>Move-in date is Aug. 17, the Cornell web-site has assigned move-in times split up by the first letter of your last name. Orientation starts that time forward - classes start Aug 23 I believe. Plan to arrive in Ithaca on the 16th if you can- I believe Statler is sold out - there is a new hotel not yet open until June that had room last week when we made resv. The Homewood Suites -</p>
<p>Yeah, move-in day is gonna be hectic. There was a lot of traffic for the class of 2010 move-in and there will be a crapload of people all over the place. Should be fun.</p>
<p>what move-in time did you guys get? I got the 8am-11am and i'm soooo freakin happy. i get to set up my 1/2 of the room and get everything done early and just relax until the orientation sessions begin.</p>
<p>Damn, I got 2-5 pm. It's like a 5 hour drive... I feel bad for my parents. They're not staying over night, and driving 10 hours a day is rough, esp. if they're not back until 10 or 11ish. :</p>
<p>Reverse alphabetical...that sux.</p>
<p>when do you find out what move in time you got?</p>
<p>where is everybody getting all this infromation on what to do???
i have the "To Do" list for new students, but this stuff isnt on there??
what are the next things that are due??</p>
<p>THANK YOU =]</p>
<p>OK WHAT THE HELL are you guys talking about? i paid my deposit and that's about it i haven't gotten ANY OTHER INFO yet...i also applied for housing...and its not confirmed yet...ARGH IM FREAKING OUT lol</p>
<p>Don't worry guys you're good :cool:. There's nothing else you NEED to know or have yet as long as you turned in your deposit and housing thing. I don't think they started confirming housing yet. You should get a Cornell Bound packet in the mail soon with more forms to fill out (there're due June 11 and some of them are due in July). </p>
<p>Here's a link to the "to-do" list: <a href="http://newstudents.cornell.edu/first-year/todolist.html%5B/url%5D">http://newstudents.cornell.edu/first-year/todolist.html</a></p>
<p>If you click the link i posted a couple spaces up, you can see where we got our orientation-move-in-time information from. We're just more bored than u guys and searched on the cornell website for info you guys will get in the mail when you need it anyway.</p>
<p>Oh, and guys, read the book for orientation. I'm an OL next year and I've started reading it and I enjoy it quite a bit. I have to say that it's much better than reading The Great Gatsby for the class of 2010, which was boring since nearly everyone had already read it.</p>
<p>Don't worry about the time slots. I went to an earlier one for moving in and they didn't seem to care.</p>
