[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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've been convinced that Yale is not like that. Sounds like other schools are not like that. It wasn't true when my own mom went to a parent event back in 1992 (or, at least, it was something she really enjoyed). And yet .. you know all about all schools in all places and times.

My kid worked hard to get into a t10 school and we're paying 90k to sent them there. You better believe I'm going to the panels, the assembly, and the dinner. I'm looking forward to it. Then I'll spend the night in a nice hotel.  Then DH and I fly to Europe for the beginning of  Act 2 (or is it Act 3?). I like my decision plenty. [/quote]

Curious to know if you think the parents who are stretching to pay 45k and whose kid worked hard to get into a t50 should just drop and run? If not, why mention the rank and the money?

[/quote]

Because we already mocked her on name dropping, not she is money dropping.[/quote]

I'm paying 90k and dont have a kid at yale. This is what COA is now. [/quote]

Yep and the high ranking OOS Publics that are more reasonable are becoming more and more impossible to be accepted to.[/quote]
