[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] LOL. The "parent orientations" are set up precisely so the colleges can force the crazy parents who can't let go to separate from the kids. They're useless otherwise. We never attended any of them.[/quote] We feel the same way with the “parent weekends”. We visited on our way to a vacation on a non football weekend about six weeks after fall began. She was proud to walk us around campus and loved we bought lunch for a grateful poor kid. We also did a bit of grocery shopping. Her and her roommates were not social and barely connected. We NEVER once met their parents. Those weekends just seem like forced fundraisers with their games and movie on the lawn. We are not football fans at all. It was quieter in town. We didn’t have to wait for a table. Much more enjoyable. [/quote] You lost me at "we bought lunch for a poor kid" and "we are not football fans at all." You sound self-righteous and boring.[/quote]
