<p>Gsmomma, yes. Every orientation I have been to costs. Usually there’s a bag of resources, sometimes a t-shirt, some meals are included, they are usually overnight so a dorm room for the student, the additional resources in staff and facilities, etc. Two of my d’s went to a school with about 3000 incoming freshmen. D3 will be attending a school with about 10,000 incoming freshmen.</p>
