Does your parents have to go to Orientation with you?
Orientation is just an introduction to the school. Sometimes it includes a campus tour and sometimes you can even sign up for classes during orientation. It's there for the students. You can bring your parents or a friend (or your brother) if you want to, but it's really just for you.
How does a college orientation work?
Lol. Normally this is something that you experience by doing, not by hearing about. The college should have explained in a packet to you how the orientation will work. Usually orientation consists of you arriving at the campus with your parents and a car packed full of your junk. Usually your parents will get a hotel room close by for at least the day before orientation, and through orientation until you are all moved into your new dorm room. Once you are moved into your dorm room (on the assigned day you move in), your parents can leave...they are no longer needed to be there (unless they want to). There may be some activities (speeches, meetings, etc.) that parents can attend while the new students are going about their own orientation activities. The school will definitely give you a schedule of activities that YOU will have to go about during orientation. This includes a set time to move into your dorm. Then, there will be administrative activities, such as bank accounts, health stuff, identification stuff, etc. Then there will be lots of ice breakers and social activities with your dorm RA and other orientation staff to get to know your dorm mates and other freshmen. To answer your questions specifically: go with your parents and a car full of junk, and you may want to stay in a hotel w/ them the night before move-in. If you can, you could also show up the day of move-in, then move-in, and have your parents stay until after you are moved in. Once you move into your dorm, you stay there, not in a hotel. The school, again, will tell you when (time) move-in is. Orientation is usually multiple days before the first day of classes. It can be long...whole days. The reason is because you are attempting to adjust to all the things required in your big move to college...including the administrative, activity, and class items. Your starting the next 4 years. It will take some time to adjust.
Bringing parents to college orientation?
I'm not sure about a community college, but I brought a parent to orientation. They usually have information to give just the parents. If you are really curious, you should call the college and ask.
Do parents have to go to high school orientation?
It's not necessary, but if you would feel more comfortable with them around then bring them along. Orientation is mainly just so the students can feel more aware of their surroundings and NOT get lost. I think that if you bring your parents along, there will be lots of other people who do as well. So there's no need to look embarrassed or anything like that! In my opinion, it's a good idea of bring them if they want to be more comfortable with the school as well. Hope I helped!
Going alone to college orientation?
Parents are strongly encouraged (borderline required) to go to orientation with their kid, and my parents can't make it to mine. Everyone else's parents are going to be there, and I'm going to be alone. I don't want to be eating lunch alone, and sitting through meetings alone while everyone else is with their parents.. What do I do?
How should a parent dress for a school orientation?
Smart casual, but make sure you are comfortable! The best impression is when you look respectable and confident ( you wont be confident if you aren't comfortable in what you're wearing). It is also only a kindergarten orietation, not a business meeting so I don't think it needs to be too formal. You want to be approachable and friendly. Teachers dress smart casual, so you should too.
Are parents supposed to attend college freshman orientation?
Almost all students bring their parents along to their freshmen orientation. Even when I went to mine as a transfer (3rd year) student, most still brought their parents along for the transfer orientation and I also brought mine just so I can be able to check in to my hotel and have company. For orientation, most bring a notebook with pen/pencil to take notes during the sessions, a folder/binder, and other documents like their final official high school transcript (if haven't sent to the school yet) that are required to register for classes. You'll also more likely have a tour around the school so it is suggested to wear comfortable shoes, especially if it is a large school. You'll probably feel overwhelmed with all the information they will give you, but it's okay you'll have plenty of time to figure things out. They will basically talk about almost everything about the university that you'd need to know like housing, financial aid/loans/scholarships, dining, student resources, rules on grades and how to register for classes every semester, consequences for academic dishonesty, deadlines, etc.
