[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the mandatory summer orientation programs have moved to online; is that an option for your kid? They still have "welcome week" in-person activities just after move-in. If not, it's fine if they go to the summer orientation solo. Also, LOL'd at "Will he have someone to sit with at lunch? Attend sessions with, etc etc. I would try to make the event as un-awkward as possible for him." I don't know that there'd be a [i]more[/i] awkward way for him to transition to college than for him to have to sit with his mom and grandmom at lunch or in orientation sessions. The discomfort is a part of the process, and is an essential step in their becoming an independent adult.[/quote] (I'm the same person who just posted that. Wanted to clarify that that quote was from a different poster, not OP. I think OP is doing just fine.)[/quote]
