I thought you weren't allowed to teach that one during O-week.

I'm not physically at Martel right now, but yes, it's my college. Don't be jealous, though; you'll love it here no matter what college you're part of.

Dorian_Mode, my parents want to help me move in and visit Rice (they've never visited Rice), can parents participate in any of the O-week activities on the first O-week day?
thanks!

After move-in, parents and students can eat lunch together with the O-Week advisors and coordinators. After that, there are a couple of information-type things set up for parents, but incoming students will be participating in separate activities. So yeah, your parents can help with move-in (most do, I think) and there are at least a few things for them to do.

They can help you move in and join you for lunch with the college masters and then there are some separate activities for the parents. (And then they leave.)

Dorian and I posted at the same time -- but you see we both pretty much said the same thing.

Has anyone gotten anything (snail mails, e-mails..) from Rice since 4/25? I only got my acceptance letter in the mail, and paid my deposit, but I haven't received ANYTHING from Rice yet other than that... no receipt, no nothing?

Outofhere--we've had no correspondence from Rice either. Even the snail mail acceptance letter still hasn't caught up with my D who has been home from her former university since the 3rd.

We know Rice received the deposit because the admission status changed to "Deposit Received".

So no big fat packets of info have come your way either?
