The +1 and his son are headed to the campus tour today - orientation Mon. Going to be quite a cultural change for him coming from a small town in FL.

They were very impressed with the tour. :thumbup:

Welcome to snow.

^ Yeah, that too.

Well, he got registered for classes after a couple of glitches. He's nervous, but I assume the rest of the students are, too.

He should be eternally grateful he didn't have to suffer through the

Telephone

System.

To add a class, press 1.

To drop a class, press 2.

To hear a listing of your classes, press 3.

To commit suicide, press #.

^^^ HAHA, I went to JMU for undergrad, but I completely remember the stupid telephone class registration system. It was a PAIN. Luckily we finally switched to on-line by my Junior year.

To MsPerky... good luck to your +1's son! I like the GMU area and your late-teens, early 20s is a good time to be in the DC area especially if you're not commuting to work or buying real estate.

They actually fixed a bug with the passwords on the fly as registration was taking place! Then they had him in the system for the Jan orientation so the classes didn't come up as available online for him. :rolleyes: They had to go out to the school twice in one day. In my college days, we lined up in the gym or wherever to sign up on paper and hoped by the time we got to the front the class sessions weren't full. :)

Well, the +1's son has his dorm assignment, so in a couple of weeks is the move in. He's still enthusiastic. Hope it lasts! :)

George Mason class of 2009 checking in. :tipwink:

I had a blast at that school getting a double degree in Math and Music (hence my screenname). I still occasionally drive down to see friends who live nearby or teach there now.

I was lucky to be a freshman playing in the pep band when they made their Final Four run! :)
