<p>The University is organizing a pre-orientation program for international students from September 12th onwards which is three days prior to the commencement of O-week.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m trying to decide whether or not to attend this program. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>I think you should go. It sounds informative and fun at the same time.</p>

3

<p>It sounds good. If you can, try to go. If you haven’t spent time in the US or traveled much, then I think you should definitely go. It sounds like a good program.</p>

<p>Is anyone doing that Outward Bound program? I hate outdoors stuff, like hiking and camping, but I’d do it if most students do it, and I can meet a lot of them…</p>

5

<p>I didn’t do it… if you’re in Brooklyn and on facebook, join the “UChicago '11-- New York” group. There are a lot of you organizing various meetups all throughout the summer.</p>

<p>As far as the international program goes, do it! You’ll be able to meet other international students, get acquainted to living in a different country, and you’ll be able to meet one of my good friends, who is working as an International Student Orientation Leader.</p>

<p>Yes, I think I will attend the program. It seems quite interesting and even if it isn’t - It definitely can’t hurt.</p>

7

<p>Most people do not attend the Outward Bound programs. They’re also quite expensive.</p>

<p>my daughter will attend Pre-orientation for international student programm too. I just hope the three days program will not be too packed , so we have time to bring her out and purchase stuff needed for her new start on the campus.</p>

<p>how exciting - I’m sure the program will be packed - but I’m also sure you will have time to do all that needs to be done! Make sure she gets a fan - it can get quite warm in september and october. If something gets forgotten - and it always does - it is easy to ship stuff from companies such as bed, bath and beyond.</p>

sounds like a great program, and an excellent excuse to have more O-week.</p>
