Can anyone fill me in on the parents' activities and housing during June "O"? I understand about staying in the dorms, but do you stay with your child or other parents? I went with my D during the fall overnight program, will this be repetitive for me? Any insight will be appreciated.
Thanks Zetesis, I had not seen that schedule. The fall overnight was excellent and I am glad I went. This program seems more focused and very practical so I will definitely try and make it.
Indeed, it's as valuable for tuition payers as tuition beneficiaries. It's informative.
One suggestion: IF your student is a potential worker, investigate this as much as you can. It seems campus jobs, while numerous, are very competitive.
I appreciated the June-O experience for parents last summer but wouldn't have stayed in a dorm for all the tea in China. Much more comfortable getting a hotel in Newark or Heath. I did find the sessions informative, although certainly didn't attend all that were offered. I saw it as a time to get to know the campus and area a little better, and to see the excitement grow in my soon-to-be college boy.
