**Our eldest child's college only had one day of orientation, so I just wanted to point out how unique and helpful this program seemed to us.

Why would a parent want torture themselves with this nonsense. I get your kid but after my kid makes the decision all I want to know is where to send the check. I could careless about meeting other parents who I will never talk to again unless their kid some how become roommates with my kid.

This reads like someone wants to relive their college experiences through their kid.[/quote]

As a BC alum - the school has a very strong community, so it does not seem out of the ordinary for them to welcome parents too or for some parents to get to know one another.  That said, my mom (like you) would have never come in the first place. It's also a school with a strong legacy contingent (I see them in FB all the time!), so I'm sure those parents love linking up. BC's a great place to be and to revisit - especially in gorgeous summer. [/quote]
