| Colleges w/ late (after Sep. 1) start dates?
For complicated reasons I won't go into now, need to know of any colleges or universities like this.
Do any parents have kids attending a school that meets this criterion? |

| Most of the UCs start well into September (with the exception of Berkeley) with UC Davis and I think UCLA starting the last week of September. | |

| Stanford starts at the end of September. So does Northwestern, I think, and other schools that are on quarter system.
Swarthmore starts usually at the very beginning of September. | |

| University of Cincinnati. And I may be wrong but public universities in the state of Michigan start the Tuesday after Labor Day (at least that was the case last year). | |

| U Penn New Students Sept 2, Classes Sept 3 2008. I believe Northwestern, Princeton, and Stanford start after the first. Perhaps 2 to 3 weeks in. | |

| I believe Northwestern, Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth also have late starts, but you'll want to double-check. New England schools are least likely to begin late; in general, the farther west you go, the more schools you'll find on the trimester/quarter system, which all tend to start late. | |
