[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW. Get up early. Drive. Unload stuff. Quixk check to see if need an ergency Target run. Hugs all around. Then a nice dinner and hotel for the parents. Leave next morning, without going back to dorm. [/quote]

-1 disagree completely. Move in day is hectic, often hot, and can be stressful for parents and child alike. Leaving at 4am, driving 10 hours, and then trying to do move-in all on the same day does not sound like a recipe for success at all, You want to be well-rested and refreshed for move-in day. I say drive to college area the day before move-in, stay the night, move in the following day (and do the requisite Target run), have dinner/say your goodbyes, stay in the hotel again that night, and then leave the following morning.

(Not to mention, a lot of colleges stagger their move in times so you don't have 500 kids and their parents trying to use the three elevators at 2 flights of stairs all at one time. You could very well get a move in time in the morning so would not be logistically possible to drive it that day.)[/quote]
