Agreed. DS went to the departmental undergrad ceremony only. It was only 250 students and was much more personal…and it’s where the kids in the department all got their diplomas. It was indoors in a nice intimate theater. The LARGE ceremony was outdoors and it POURED rain. I was so grateful to be sitting in a nice restaurant eating breakfast!!

DDs school had ONE huge LONG (did I say LONG) graduation. It was outdoors also. The weather is usually drop dead gorgeous where DD went to college. On graduation day it was in the mid 80’s and sunny. It was VERY hot. ALL the grads (about 900) got their diplomas. We had intended to stay for all but after DD’s department, we left. It was just too long and too hot. The water vendors made a killing that day!!
