Yes, that’s the schedule! And, although the class topics might not fit your son, DEFINITELY don’t miss orientation. He really needs to be there. If not for the classes (which my daughter didn’t go to, two years ago), then for the beginning of the transition-- dorm mates, finding his way around the campus, any placement tests he needs to take, shopping for last minute stuff, etc. etc. There are also dorm meetings that he needs to attend, and a huge social scene that he needs to become part of. If he misses that, he will have to begin on the first day of classes and will in a pretty tough situation. You are right about Labor Day traffic; it’s a bear. But you really need to do it. Drive up early and leave later if that’s possible, but don’t keep him from the Orientation because of your frustration about the traffic. It’s very important!
