[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a college administrator, I can't remember a student (except international or very unusual trying family circumstances) who didn't have one parent attend orientation. These were high price privates in top 50. My parents didn't attend my state school orientation in the 90's, but there also wasn't a parent track set up for them. At my most recent school, GW, the students are almost never with their parents, except a dinner or two. Yet, it still is a shared experience between them.[/quote] Agreed. Sometimes the faux anti-helicoptering parents love to chime in about what they're not doing for their kids. Or maybe they just don't want to take a day off work. Orientation time is a clear demarcation of "here, we got you to college, the rest is up to you." [/quote]
