<p>Did any current students here do any of the pre-welcome week programs and if so what do you think? And what are the logistics related to going on those programs and then moving in?</p>
<p>I did Freshman Fest (Hillel’s) because I couldn’t do any of the other ones due to the holidays (i.e. I didn’t care but my mom wouldn’t let me). Good times. I don’t really remember the logistics. I think I brought my bags and left them in a room there and then hauled them over to my dorm the next day.</p>
<p>Thanks. Is it possible for students to do one of the week-long programs and also do the Hillel night, or is that not possible? It’s unclear from the website (and of course it’s listing last year programs).</p>
<p>Pizzagirl, my S did Freshman Fest this past year because Rosh Hashanah fell in the middle of the longer programs. Freshman Fest started ~3 p.m. and ended ~ 9 a.m., the next day, which was move-in day. His roommate was on one of the longer programs, and I remember that he didn’t come back until some time on the move-in day, so in that case, it wouldn’t have been possible.</p>
<p>Generally speaking its not possible.</p>
<p>Thanks. Looks like the holidays are later this year (RH starting on Sep 29) so maybe he can catch up with Hillel events at that point.</p>
<p>Always room at Hillel- there are new student events (First Year Students at Hillel-FYSH) all during new student week.</p>
