[quote=Anonymous]We have have/had 4 kids in college so far.  Each of them has been within a 5-hour drive.  They all have had cars except for freshman year (only 1 kid had a car for freshman year).

For as long as each has been in college, each has been home for Fall Break (usually in October), then Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter Break and a few more times during the spring.  Additionally as parents we probably visited 2 or 3 times each semester.

Coming home for Fall Break is great.  You got to change out clothes, get some stuff they needed and get recharged.  Each of our kids has almost always had another kid in tow for Fall Break ("Larla/o would be all alone because everyone is going home") so don't feel weird about that.

You do what is right for you.  There are a bunch of people who will post about how they had to walk 5 kazillion miles uphill in snow and no shoes to get to school so they darn well stayed there when they got there.  Know that families like mine exist at every school and probably are more normal than the uphill in snow families.  Do what feels right for you and don't worry about what anyone else does.

Have a great time at school!  I am excited for you!  Being away at college completely changed my life.  Enjoy the experience![/quote]
