[quote=Anonymous]Have done it twice, and i was a little sadder with the 2nd than the 1st but adjusted quickly. The 1st went to a SLAC where they had a parent/student reception in the afternoon after move in and made it clear this was the time for parents to leave and kids to go on to an orientation activity. It was a good approach and didn't allow for lingering. As others have said, we drove there (it was only 2 hours away), moved in, went to Target, I guess ate lunch, went to the reception and drove home. Kid 2 went farther away so we drove out and spent the night, moved in the next morning and did the target run and lunch, and then left DC to go on to some scheduled activities. We had to spend that night there but ended up going to a major league baseball game which was a fun distraction. Drove home early the next morning. In both cases the kids were home for fall break and we were there for parents weekend so it was literally only a few weeks before we saw them again. [/quote]
