[quote=Anonymous]My son moved into his freshman dorm in fall of 2020 and parents were not allowed in at all due to covid restrictions.  They had plenty of help from upperclassmen and professional movers that the school had hired.  My son had no problem setting up his room and it gave him and his roommate time to figure it out without parents in the way.  For the fall of 2021, we were allowed in his dorm but we just helped carry stuff in and then said good-bye.  He had no problems unpacking for freshman year and we saw no reason to be in the way for his sophomore year.  He also packed his entire room up at the end of both years without any help from us.  I understand parents wanting to be there and wanting more time to be with their kids before saying good-bye but the number of parents that complained that their kid "needed" their help was ridiculous.  If your kid can't handle setting up their room, they probably aren't ready for the rest of college.  Plenty of his friends are from across the country and flew in alone or drove themselves.
