[quote=Anonymous]We both went with my daughter and I can't imagine missing it, at least freshman year.  From a logistical standpoint, having more people to haul stuff in was helpful. I assembled the nightstand while my husband and daughter worked on unpacking & tech issues. The bed lofting was more than a 2 person job. I can't speak for the whole hall, but there were both parents with all the kids around her room.  Your kid has to schedule the move in at a different time than their roommate, though, b/c no way woud 6 people fit in there suring move-in.

From an emotional standpoint, it was a significant milestone and we all wanted to be there.  It was her first time living away from home.  She would have been really upset if one of us hadn't been there.  It was a little tough on her, but by the time we visited for parents weekend just a short time later, she was completely acclimated.

I would not go 2 days later.  Once moved in, they need to start building their home away from home life and parents get in the way.[/quote]
