I got an email saying I have to check in to pollocks as soon as arrive to campus, does whoever is with me also check in? or does my dad (the one who is accompanying me) have to book a hotel/motel?
Parents have to make their own overnight arrangements. So yeah, hotel, motel, whatever.
@bodangles are we roomed with other people in pollocks? is it just like if you were living in dorms for the year? Also just out of curiosity is it required to check in to pollocks?
@Ajpat123 We were just at NSO for my son. You will have a roommate in Pollack. We (the parents) stayed in a local hotel. There were seminars that were for both the parents and student together and some were separate. You need to check into Pollack to drop your bags off and get a key etc. then you can meet back up with your father.
@japsmom So Im out of state and my NSO date is the 23rd (I driving to PSU all day tomorrow) do I check in tomorrow or the day of NSO?
You have to check in the day of NSO. I believe they give a time of 12:45 but my son checked in around 12:00. It officially doesn’t start until 2:30.
@japsmom lol this is a stupid question but they provide blankets and pillows right?
@Ajpat123 Yes, they provide pillows and sheets.
Isn’t all of this in the orientation information packet they sent you?
Also, they revamped the orientation website for this year – Google it, it seems quite helpful.
I dont think I got one.
