[quote=Anonymous]If you are a rising junior didn't you spend some time on campus freshman year pre-covid? Or is this your second year of college and you have credits to make you a junior? I only ask because typically freshman come home more often than juniors/seniors so you might want to factor that in to your plans - it will be harder to catch up socially with your class if you are away a lot.

Both my DCs came home for fall break (a long weekend) their first year but not after that. We went for parents weekends in the fall most years but you will want to let your parents know that you may not spend every minute of that weekend with them. In fact for the kid who went to college 2 hours away, we never went for more than the Saturday because he had more interesting things to do on campus than hang out with us. Other than that it was, as others noted, thanksgiving and winter break. One kid came home for a portion of a couple of spring breaks, the other didn't come home for any of them.

Part of the residential college experience is the residential part. You don't want to shortchange that, especially if you only have 2 years.[/quote]
