[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the middle kid of three.  When we moved my sister to college (6 hr drive away) we all went with her.  It was fun and a nice look at college for me since I was two years behind her.  My parents detoured to visit a couple other colleges I was interested in on the way home.

How about just asking your oldest what would be best for her -- would she want the whole gang there to help her move in or would it be less stressful for her with one parent?

For the family weekend, if there's a schedule of events, look at that for guidance, does it look like things the younger ones would be welcome to participate in? [/quote]

Youngest of 3 and I went along when my siblings went off to college. We're close knit so it just seemed natural that we supported each other, said good byes,  etc .
Plus, as Pp mentioned, it gave me a snapshot of college campus life for when it would be my turn.

How "young" are these siblings op? Like a 5 yr old (who would probably be bored beyond tears) or like a 13 yr?

And when I was at va tech (a 4 hr drive) my parents did the drive in 1 day. No need for a 2 night stay at a hotel.[/quote]
