| I'm another parent in the SF area -- right outside of SF, about 30 minutes from Stanford, 40 minutes from Berkeley, 20 minutes or so from USF. And also with a kid in NY.
(Hey, CGM, life has just gotten sooo much easier because Jet Blue now flies into SFO -- no more driving across the bay for cheap fares. Just a word of warning, they are in the International Terminal, good to know if you are picking up or dropping off. My d. flew in Saturday night with a huge amount of luggage -- and we had a little bit of a hike back to the car due to my mistaken assumption that a domestic flight would come into a domestic terminal). |

in descending order of proximity.
This is a great idea, OP! One especially nice parent on this board (hello, SplashMom  ) very kindly offered me assistance when my d, who attends school in her area, was sick with the flu. She also patiently offered this timid driver suggestions for dealing with the traffic on I-65 and I-40 in Nashville. It's not likely I can ever do the same for her, but maybe I can help someone else. | |

| Bowdoin, Bates, Colby
Also UMaine, UNew England and reasonably close to UNew Hampshire
(when I say "close" to Colby, I am really about 2 hours away. But nobody is much closer  ) The others are within 45 minutes, except UNH

I see others are up my way too....waving "hi" to my fellow NoCal parents!We're really close to SF State....some connections w/Stanford, but most of my resources are at the SoCal UC's...... UCSD, Irvine, UCLA (I'm an alum). Science/Med....talk to me.
DD is in Philly starting Sept......so I'll probably PM some of you. | |

| So we're willing to trust our children's welfare to a total stranger we've met on the Internet?
OK, I just wanted to be sure I understood what we were doing. | |

I doubt anyone would call on someone that they didn't have a pretty good feel for, and yes, I've definitely come close to asking some of these great folks for help on an occasion or two. Kat has been wonderful in offering help, especially when my son was needing to put his stuff in storage, but we were able to get it worked out w/o bothering her. Still, I so appreciated her offer! And I'd help out, no questions asked, for my CC buddies, ANYTIME!
