Choosing Courses

<p>If I do not attend orientation, will I be at a disadvantage when choosing classes? If there is, is the disadvantage significant? like if i don’t go, will i be essentially blocked out of all my first choices/best classes?
Because i am from New Jersey, so i have to fly across the country. It doesn’t seem to be worth the money in my opinion, since i to have to fly back a month later when things really get going. </p>

<p>Can any current student can shed light on how their orientation was? It almost seems like they are selling me the school even though I have already decided to enroll. and the spirit rally seems a little tacky. But if it is truly a great experience, then i might consider going.</p>
