[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's happening, colleges are forcing parents to leave campus. OP, my high school student handles all internship, etc., tasks. I butt out.[/quote] It's true. NYTimes did a big story about it a few years back, although the colleges call it "velcro parenting" which made me laugh. The colleges can't get rid of the parents! The parents fuss about the dorms and roommate selection. They try to insert themselves into the class selection process. One dean complained in the article that parents wanted to attend the first round of classes to make sure Suzy was in the right courses. One Ivy mentioned (can't remember name) said they instigated a 24 hour rule. Dorms open. Parents have to be gone by COB the next day. Too many parents were coming into town, taking a week at the local hotels and enjoying themselves and the colleges found it very disruptive.[/quote]
