Thanks for the detailed message. I do wish he could have gone. I finally get him home on Monday after two months away. Anxious to know if he heard about roommates. I have access to her portal but not email.
I did get my son a good but no ideal schedule. (I normally wouldn’t do this myself but he had no way of doing it for himself.) I went to UCSC and am a computer programmer so I have a fairly good idea of what he needed. One of the required classes was almost fully booked & noticed that while a few kids were added the first & 2nd day of orientation none after that. But I’ve found a reasonable other option that I think will work fine.
I am glad it was really useful to you. I’ve been down this road before as I have an older kid. I’m sure it would have been useful but it just wasn’t possible for him to go. If the dates had been just a little bit different, so he might have been able to go.
