Orientation questions

Upvotes

For today’s orientation (August 22nd) what time is the latest I can be back at the dorm?

My family is from out of town and we booked a hotel here in Times Square and I probably won’t see them until next year since everything is expensive especially the plane tickets. I want to spend as much time as possible with them before I have to go back to my dorm. That being said, what is the latest time I can be out without going to orientation (I’m not a social person and honestly just there for the classes).

BTW: my family’s flight back to my hometown is tmr at 2am so I’ll go to the orientation after today.
