[quote=Anonymous]With our oldest, we drove to the town the night before and spent the night in the hotel.  Then unloaded him in the morning, did the Target run, had lunch with him in the dining hall, hugged and left before I burst our crying.  He's a 3 hour drive away so we were able to get home that night.  We had originally planned on staying for a "parent's orientation."  But when we saw the schedule of events, we realized it was an exact repeat of what we had done during an admitted students event a couple of months earlier.

Our middle son is at a school local (a 45 minute drive away.)  He is a freshman this year, he applied ED and the only admitted student events were done via zoom.  Since he didn't have a decision to make at that point, he didn't do any of them.  DH and I had never done a tour of the school, other than walk around the campus on our own, so we were very interested in doing the "parent's orientation" which was in person.  We did those events the day after move in -if we had had the opportunity to do them in the spring, we would not have gone back.

We have one more to move into school.  Most likely, we'll do what we did with DS #1 - drop off and then head immediately home - unless its a lengthy drive, then we'll stay a 2nd night.  But we won't plan on seeing DS after we drop him off on move in day.[/quote]
