[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just returned from dropping DS at college. Orientation was incredible - live music, full fireworks display, cheer squads outside dorms to welcome students. Obviously, college orientation is very different from 30 years ago when I got dropped off. I heard one college had hot air balloon rides at orientation. Is this happening everywhere? Is it all about retaining kids, impressing parents?[/quote] Sounds like it could feel a bit overwhelming on day one at a new place. I have an outgoing happy kid but drop off for college he already had lots of adrenaline and nerves so that kind of huge display and performative spirit would not land as well as if it was after they'd adjusted or finished orientation week.[/quote]
