<p>I spent 4 days 3 nights when my first child went to college. I did not do anything related to his move-in. And he did not need me either. I just attended events for parents organized by the college.</p>
<p>This year I decided not to go with my second child for the move-in because the school does not have big and fun events for parents. I save for the parent weekend. I will help my child order dorm supply from Amazon and ship directly to her dorm. This will save her from going to the local stores and carrying back clunky things on the bus and to the dorm.</p>
