Overnight Visits

Once you have been accepted and have decided to attend RPI, there is a mandatory Student Orientation Session that you must attend over the summer, most of which are in July. During this time, you will get acquainted with your future classmates and also register for your first semester of classes. The best way to get a good feel of what life is like on campus is to talk to your SO Advisors. Ask as many questions as you can think of while you have the chance. They are there to help you get ready for RPI, and they are more than happy to address any questions you have.
