Orientation without parents? (as a transfer)

I think waiting for parents’ weekend is a much better idea. There’s very little involvement of parents during O-week, and parents don’t get many activities and certainly not enough to justify a long trip.

Parents week is very worthwhile. I only attended parents weekend when D was a freshman (after that I just went when it was convenient for us). I strongly recommend attending at least one parents weekend. I enjoyed sitting in some of D’s classes (was very impressed by the profs she had teaching her), enjoyed the football game and pregame BBQ. It was also nice to see D after a few weeks to see how she was fitting in, who she had met, meet the masters,…

Finally, congrats on attending Rice. It’s a special place.
