Here is a list of information that you should know before coming to orientation in August:

1 . When to Arrive at Gonzaga^

Orientation begins on Friday, August 28th, 2009. Students will be allowed to move in some time in the early morning around 8 or 9 a.m. This requires that either you wake up early (depending on the length of your drive) and make it to campus for check in, or book a hotel reservation for Thursday night so you can make it to campus Friday morning. Most students and their families normally book a hotel, because it is the easiest way to make move in day go smoothly. Either way, you must make travel plans accordingly.

2 . Flights, Hotel Reservations, and Move-In Day^

If you plan on getting a hotel as mentioned above, you will need to book flights and hotels early for this event. This is crucial because there will be over 1000 students moving into the residence halls during the weekend with their families in tow.

3 . What To Bring^

Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what to bring to campus, but, it can be harder to figure out what NOT to bring to campus. Check out our What to Bring! Page for a detailed list of Residence Hall necessities.
