[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC’s school is two plus hours away. We stayed two nights. Kid loves school, assimilated well, made good friends and was somehow not stunted by this experience, even though DCUM has declared that to be impossible. Make up your own mind about what makes your family feel good about the experience. Good luck, OP![/quote]

What did you do for two days??  Cry?

When we dropped our kids off at UVA from NOVA we barely stopped the car.  Lol[/quote]

Spent the night before move in having a nice, relaxed dinner together before early move in the next day. Helped with move in, made a Target and grocery store run because she doesn’t have a car then said goodbye. Stayed that night because there were parent orientation activities the next day. It’s really not that mysterious. Something tells me your kid was eager to jump out of that car…[/quote]

“Parent orientation” is designed to keep helicopter parents out of their kids’ hair on move-in weekend.  You do know that, right?  So you spent your second day with other anxious and over-the-top parents on move-in weekend while we took the other kids to the beach.  I’d say ours was the better decision![/quote]

I’m fascinated that somehow you have been able to attend the family orientations of every college in order to draw that conclusion. Please tell us how you managed that, particularly with all those kids! The other parents we met weren’t anxious or hovering. They were excited, happy to share useful, less official info that the college won’t tell you and getting to look around the place where their kids will spend four years. In our case we also met up with old friends whose kid ended up at the same school. All in all, it was a lovely day and a nice transition time. Why you’re so triggered by that idea is beyond me.

Because you are so willfully blind, it’s laughable[/quote]
