There is no mandatory meeting for new students until early that evening. Following is a schedule of orientation events which families are welcome to attend. Attendance is strictly up to you and your student. Some parents are unable to come to campus at all. Some parents come for a short time and have to immediately return home without attending any of the events.
Some parents come for the whole weekend and attend all of the events.
If you do stay in the area overnight, you are responsible for your own transportation and accommodations during your visit. Campus maps, information, schedule changes. Desk, Lower Lobby, Forum. Meet at Burling Library. Tours leave from the west terrace of the Forum.
