Explore is completely different than Orientation. If she does Top Scholars weekend she won’t need to do Orientation but could still do one of the Explore programs. My son did one and it was fantastic. They do get to move in early. We went down with him and got him all moved in the day before the program started. Well I think it actually started that night? Sunday night they had a meeting? You will get special shipping labels to ship her stuff down and a chart of when to ship depending on where you are coming from. Then it will all be available on the day you move in. They hold the boxes for kids in Explore in the mail room and don’t load them on the Fed Ex trailer with all the other students boxes. It was really nice to not fight crowds and lines to get our son moved in. We let him alone to unpack and we ran to target to pick up things he needed. By the time we got back he had his whole room set up and was anxious for us to leave so he could go explore his new dorm and meet people. My husband and I then stayed in NOLA for the week so we could be there for Commencement activities. We ate and celebrated and even took a drive and spent the day on the beach in Pensacola.
