<p>Two things about orientation:</p>
<p>First, my D didn’t have an especially great time at her orientation. Among other things, her host was unenthusiastic and left her alone in the room for the evening. Fortunately, my D figured that was just one person and not representative of the student body. She is now finishing her second year at USC and absolutely loves it.</p>
<p>Second, as I recall, orientation is a good time for parents to buy tickets to the football game during Parent’s Weekend in October. My D’s roommate’s parents tried to buy some during move-in and they were sold out.</p>
