If orientation begins the 19th
When should I be getting there?
As early as the 16th? Late as the 18th?

There is a schedule for parents and family during move-in. It is optional, of course. I think it continues through mid afternoon the day following move-in, but I'm not positive about that. You should be getting information about that soon.

New Student & Family Programs:

This will get updated as it gets closer to August, but I think most parents left soon after convocation.

My parents are staying until the 21st. The parent orientation stuff ends on the 20th, but my parents learned from moving my older sister in that it's better to stay an extra day for final trips to target, etc.
