<p>i HIGHLY suggest going to orientation in the summer. i met a lot of friends and learned a lot about what to expect when i moved in in august. also, welcome week was such a fun/relaxing time to get used to being in the city, i cant imagine what i would have done if i had to attend orientation sessions during welcome week. also, registering for classes is so stressful, i would have hated to leave it til the last second. i understand that money is most likely an issue for a lot of ppl, but if you can make it work then i HIGHLY suggest attending one of the summer orientations.</p>
