[quote=Anonymous]When the school was decided on, we added the travel costs to our budget. We set aside funds for the student to fly home for Thanksgiving, Winter Break, possibly spring break and also summer break. We budgeted for one parent to fly to parents' weekend and for drop-off per year. We look for Southwest sales (the WOW sale just ended but they have another deep discount in the fall). We reduced our vacations significantly - partially because we couldn't plan around the college student and partially because we shifted our vacation budget to the college travel budget. Only in the first year did a parent go with the student for drop-off; after that, they were self-sufficient. We have loyalty points with rental cars and hotels, and the reality is this is a short period of time - so we make the most of it. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know a new city, and only having one parent go per year to parents' weekend has actually been a wonderful way to have 1:1 time with our student. [/quote]
