[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids in college and I joined the parent facebook pages for both schools. Neither of them have that level of helicopter parenting. It's a lot of seeking graduation tickets, questions about parents weekend, and advice on hotels for parents to stay at near campus. [/quote] Same, for the most part. There is the occasional cross-the-line IMO post and around August-Sept there's a flurry of overinvolved parents. I've never posted myself but have found it occasionally helpful. Two best things were a compiled list of off campus housing options, which I sent to DS for him to then figure it out. And, someone mentioned an undergrad research program in DS's major. It was probably mentioned to him at the start of 1st year but he hadn't taken notice. Again, I just let him know about it and he followed up. It ended up being one of his best experiences and really contributed to internship search success. [/quote]
