[quote=Anonymous]I think it's a case-by-case thing -- depending on your child's preferences, on what the school has planned, etc. I remember not caring too much at the time whether my dad came to orientation with me. It turned out to be relevant a few months later, though: I was eligible for sophomore standing, and my mom (who didn't attend orientation) was really eager for me to take it, but my dad talked her down on the basis of actually attending the presentation, where they discussed who was a good candidate for it and who wasn't. (I was not.) A few years later a buddy and I went to orientation with a younger friend whose parents couldn't go -- he made a joke out of it when he introduced us, but the truth is he felt self-conscious being one of the few kids without parents in attendance, so we were there for moral support.
