<p>However, freshman have to be there on Tuesday, August 20, for the Navigating Rennselaer and Beyond program:</p>

<p>Also, if you live more than 300 miles away and do not go to one of the orientation programs in July, then your orientation would start on Monday, August 19.</p>
<p>Finally, in the past they had optional team building trips before orientation. I believe that my S moved in the Friday (or was it Saturday?) before so that he could do one of the optional trips.</p>
<p>It was nice moving in before everyone else. It looked like well below 20% were moving in then - no rush, no hassle. It was a pleasure.</p>
