[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you go at all? We sent our college freshman to school by herself on a flight and had shipped most of her things beforehand so they were waiting in the room. Different strokes. There's not a right or wrong way to do this, it depends on the kid and the family.[/quote]

Reminds me of a story that I read decades ago. Kid was admitted to one of the LACs in Maine. Parents bought kid an airline ticket to Portland and somehow the kid ended up in Oregon.[/quote]

This is so funny. A good reminder that they are "all grown up," except in the ways they are not.

Everyone's kid is different. How about trusting them to know how to parent their kid, and you focus on parenting yours.[/quote]

That is an excellent story! My friend's son came home from NE college tour with neighbors and pronounced he wanted to go to Hamilton. Got in, put down deposit, drove son there for drop off where he said "this isn't the one I meant" - turns out he liked Colgate located in Hamilton NY! All worked out - he stayed and loved it and now they have a great story .
Enjoy the journey!
