[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do colleges typically have orientations so early in the summer? Why don’t they just have them when freshman/new students move into their dorms in August/September?[/quote] My kid is an orientation leader at a school that has an incoming freshman class of about 7,000 students, and they do orientation during the first week of move-in. It takes about 800 student volunteers to run this program, in addition to the staff involvement, and because of its scale, it takes an incredible amount of planning. It also means that 7,000 kids are all trying to see their advisors, finalize registration for classes, etc., at once. Splitting that up for four or five sessions over the summer lessons the task somewhat, although I'm sure it still comes with its share of logistical challenges. Suffice to say that there is not one perfect way to do this. [/quote]
