[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it really matter if they are close or far away? I'm being serious, not snarky.

How much did you go home in college? How many times did your parents visit?

I went to school about a 3 hour drive from home. The first time I went home was for Thanksgiving. I never went home for spring or summer break. My parents usually came to visit once or twice a year, though I'm fairly certain they didn't come my first year until family weekend in the spring. [/quote]

OP here, and this is soooo true. You are soooo right.

I was nearly down the street from my house but didn't go home unless the dorm forced me out for vacations. It is true that once you get onto that campus you enter a completely new world, and it doesn't matter if the school is 10 miles away or 10,000 you go into another zone in college. You don't (want to) see your family.

And I know my dc, summer camp was no problem for either of us and that was in New England so I'm sure I'll adjust. The unknowing leading up to it is probably the worst part of this.[/quote]
