<p>I know that most colleges have freshman come early to prepare and get to know each other, usually around a week before actual classes start. Does anybody know the exact date that freshman are supposed to report to BU because I could not find the exact date on the web site.</p>
<p>Move in to the dorms is Labor Day weekend, with classes beginning the day after Labor Day. If you do FYSOP, the freshman community service program, you get to move in several days earlier. Orientation is in the summer, when you go to BU for tests, meeting with advisers, etc.</p>
<p>I saw something about these placement tests on the orientation site too...but what exactly will be tested for? Which area? Are they to determine which class to sort us for the english/math standards?</p>
<p>Everyone takes the writing assessment test. Even AP English scores of 4 or 5 do not exempt you from this test. </p>
