[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD spent all of her freshman year (last school year) at home instead of dorming, by choice. Small private college. Classes were mostly online, and all had students tuned in online. It was lovely. We watched TV together most nights each week, she learned how to cook so many different meals, joined clubs that met over Zoom, and got a great GPA.

Now (since August) she's off at school like everybody else and I am a little wistful. She will probably never be at home for close to that long again. We talk frequently and I think she adjusted successfully.[/quote]

+1. DD was also home all summer while working a job and taking a summer class, but it was very relaxed and we did a lot together as a family. She's been back all year except for a few week-long breaks and I do miss her, although I think she's starting to enjoy what a more normal college experience can be like. I'm excited to have her back for the summer though she'll be working again and we've planned a short road trip before she goes back early to start her job as an RA. Still, I know it's a privilege, but I look back at her freshman year with fondness at all of the memories we made together.[/quote]
