I was going to post the same about USC’s admitted student event. We were surprised by the $50 pp fee and, with 3 of us attending, it wasn’t insignificant! I don’t mind paying for parking (which we’ve paid at other schools) nor did I mind paying for my meal at Elon (D’s was free)…I can imagine that these events are pricey to hold but $50 per person seemed excessive and was a turn off. I have only sent one D to an orientation thus far but it was an overnight event and the fee seemed reasonable.
