Did you call roommates parents beforehand?

My sons would have wanted to kill me!

When we dropped off our son as a sophomore he wanted us to just leave his “stuff” packed. In other words, just spend days traveling and then just unload our stuffed car and leave very quickly! The process did not happen exactly as he wanted, but we did leave within a few hours (after unpacking).

Last year, one parent that we met offered to host our son if he needed place to go for a long weekend (they live a short distance from the school). I thought this was a very nice invitation.
