<p>We are in the Midwest, not quite as far away as you. D has decided to attend ASU. We visited twice, the 2nd time for several days including orientation.</p>
<p>The distance is a bit of concern for us. D doesn’t fly well. Especially the way Thanksgiving break is so closely followed by winter break. I checked with housing. The dorms are open throughout all breaks, but dining halls are closed. Considering having her home for the 4 day October break, then skipping Thanksgiving, or going out there to see her. Southwest flies from our area to Phoenix very cheap.</p>
<p>Or could emulate the pres of Barrett’s parent’s organization who told me at the merchandise sale that he moved out there from east coast after his kids both went to ASU.</p>
