[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WJ? The traffic at Umbc campus was horrible both coming and going. The rain had everyone trying to depart at once, too. At arrival, grads were jumping out of jammed up cars to walk because they were threatened they would not be allowed to enter after 12:30. But at 12:30 and later, the grads still hadn’t even been allowed in. They were left outside and then eventually let in to stand in hot hallways for a very long time without water. There were annoyances as parents, which we anticipated and accepted, but it was the treatment of the grads that needs improvement. At least access to water needs to be addressed. 
But the venue itself inside was spacious and fine. I’d prefer DAR but WJ is large. Is UMD too expensive?[/quote]

We were wj too. My grad mentioned that there wasn't water and they had said there would be snacks since they had to leave before 21:30 am and wouldn't be back until 6pm. Of course there were no snacks. We didn't need free snacks. We would have provided them if we knew there wouldn't be any. It was the lack of honesty.[/quote]

Apparently they had stuff for staff but nothing for grads, who weren’t allowed to bring anything in. Someone needs to ensure this doesn’t happen again. My DC would have been okay without the food but was feeling ill from lack of water. [/quote]

If your school hasn't yet had a graduation or you have a younger child who has not yet graduated, plan to send in a small sized water bottle that they keep in their pant pocket or stuff their bra.[/quote]
