madteaparty Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I’m just gathering some data as to how many weeks in August I can expect to have before we have to move a kid to college. I just have the local school info. Thanks for any contributions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I have one whose first day is August 18th (southeastern school) & another who starts the 23rd (plains state). Move in is the week (or weekend) prior to both. Orientation occurs earlier in the summer for oncoming freshmen except those who are coming from far away. There seems to always be an option for "just in time" orientation right before school starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Mine has to be there Aug 13 for a pre-move in retreat required for his honors program but he thinks regular move in is supposed to be on/around the 16th. Everytime I asked about it he wasn’t sure and couldn’t find the info. The Aug 13 date is the first solid date we have. Classes start the 18th. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Sorority rush (recruitment) moves the timeline up even more. I think it was August 6th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 August 11th has been the earliest for my kids (so far). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-rap Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Not till the last week of August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 A week before the semester started. This year, that would be August 14th. The other kid's school is on quarters and didn't start until late September 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easypeasy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 We're looking at August 23rd for both kids - but one is moving in a week early for an on-campus job training. Considering that I'll be driving/helping with move-in, I'm really glad that worked out the way it did! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Move in date for student housing is August 26 for DS, but he might have to be there 2 weeks early for international quarantine. Really hoping they remove the mandate for vaccinated students. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 August 14-15 with classes starting the 23rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 New students move in August 14, returning students can move in the 18th. Classes start the 23rd. This year there is not an in person summer orientation for new students until the week before classes, but there are online things to do through the summer, including placement testing, advising, new student meetings for different subject areas, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 My kid starts after Labor Day. Most freshman move to campus the week before, so very late august/early September. Though he is in an auditioned group now that starts rehearsing mid august most years. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It's all over the place in my experience. Ds did an adventure retreat and had to be a school 10 or so days early. So, he was there around mid August. Ordinarily it would have been the end of August (except for last year's class who had to go a week earlier bc of covid scheduling.) Dd has to be at her school September 4th or so. Maybe check some likely schools and see what they require. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
