<p>No new student (College or Conservatory) is allowed to move into the dorm until Tuesday, August 25th, except for (1) international students, who have a special early orientation, and (2) students specifically authorized to arrive early because of, for example, fall sports practice which starts a week or so earlier.</p>
<p>Parent orientation concludes at 3:45 on Wednesday the 26th. That’s the polite way of suggesting that that’s the appropriate time to leave. Parents who stick around after that point, however well-meaning, are likely to get in the way of their child’s bonding with the other new students.</p>
