[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is zero chance I will be participating as a parent in any of these orientation activities. ZERO. But I'm happy for them to put on stuff for my kids to do.[/quote] +1. I never did when my kids went to college. Let’s be honest: the parent programs are designed to keep the parents out of the kids’ faces during first year orientation. It’s anti-helicoptering. [/quote] And to also tell parents when to step back and let their kids do things (hint: most of the time) and how to help support your kid during their first semester and year. Lets you know the resources available so you can encourage your kid to use them. It's a time to talk to the health clinic if you kid has any medical issues (my oldest DC's roommate did and I know the mom was able to arrange most everything they needed during this orientation and it made her feel 1000 times more comfortable having a kid 4 hours from home with medical issues.
