[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend of mine said the W&M first year move in was “really over the top”.[/quote]

We just returned and it was awesome. Not over the top at all. My husband and I were impressed and left feeling completely comfortable that DD is in great hands. Move in was well orchestrated, thoughtful of students and families, great spirit, no fireworks. Lots of happy volunteers directing students. OAs on hand to whisk kids off to dinner together after saying goodbye to parents. Kids had staggered move in windows so each family had time alone in the room to get set up and say goodbye privately. Just right IMO.[/quote]

Tbf they did do fireworks in Colonial Williamsburg for the students last night, but I agree that it was all well done [/quote]

Haha, I spoke too soon. DD sent a video and loved it. No fireworks at move-in, but I’m not sure why people are turned off by celebrating this milestone anyway. Orientation is a big deal and I’m pleased with OAs’ efforts to make kids feel included. Introverted DD is a bit exhausted and excited to get started with classes already, but appreciates the bonding and has made some friends. She’s excited about convocation and the ceremonial walk through Wren - she signed up for a school steeped in tradition and loves this kind of thing.[/quote]
