<p>Hello, my son was admitted ED to his college. He’s received an invitation and my wife and I are uncertain whether or not he should attend. Any thoughts? He had visited the college for an overnighter in October.</p>
<p>Is this like an admit weekend? The benefit is to meet others who are likely to attend the school. Many schools allow students to choose their roommates, and some students use this weekend as an opportunity to meet potential roommates. Also allows student to become a little more familiar with the campus and the choices for dorms. </p>
<p>If school has course registration before the Freshman arrive on campus, the admit weekend is also a good time to ask upperclass students about courses, teachers, majors etc.</p>
<p>However, if your son already knows upper class students at the school, or has someone in mind for a roommate, or is very familiar with the campus and knows what dorm he wants to request…there may not be a lot of benefit to attending.</p>
