i believe the kids start getting pretty busy with meetings etc. by noon on that Sunday…you can stay around and see them again (possibly) later in the day but I seem to recall that their day was pretty full and we left in the afternoon. Parents weekend is great. I find that most of the parents do come (esp. the freshman parents, but we went every year and many of the upperclassmen’s parents were also there.). The activities are scheduled on Friday and Saturday, and includes some special classes for parents (last year we attended one about the elections), receptions, tours and of course the football game on Saturday (you have to buy tickets in advance esp. if they are playing one of their SEC opponents…when you get info about parents weekend, there will be info about the football tickets.) We leave fairly early Sunday – after brunch (if we can wake the kids…) as the kids want to get back to their lives (and studies) by then.
