<p>Is it really necessary? Do all the freshman actually go? Are there consequences for pepole who don’t attend?</p>
<p>They like you to go and you need an excuse if you won’t be able to attend. Our son was sick (strep throat or something similarly contagious, I don’t remember exactly what) so he missed his class Getaway. He was sorry because Plan II is small and it’s a good way to meet Plan II staff and students in a social setting. Some of the more popular Plan II professors usually attend, too, and it seems like a fun event.</p>
