I would like your help with an issue I am wrestling with, which is perhaps not uncommon. I am an overseas student accepted into UT. The orientation dates are in June and early July. There is one session (Aug 23-24) just before classes start on Aug 30. I know you are able to register for classes after orientation, which is important. Because of the big gap between orientation dates and start of classes, I am looking at either making two trips to the US or opting for the orientation session just before classes start. I fear this date may be leaving things too late. Assuming I attend an orientation in June, staying in the US till start of classes is not a real option. Please advise what you would do in my situation. If I have to make the two trips, I will. But I want to be sure I am not misreading the situation.
