These are for MArch programs. I’ll be going to WUSTL this weekend with her. I’m not staying at the same hotel with her and the other students. She was told by Admissions that parents, spouses, boyfriends/girlfriends, are welcome, but need to pay for themselves which is only fair. I’m participating in the school and program information sessions, but not attending any of the social events.

She has gone through the entire process of deciding on schools and applying on her own. I’m glad that she values my opinions and wants me along. I’m not approaching this as I did 4 years ago when I could ask questions because she couldn’t or wouldn’t. I’ll just be along for the ride. I’m expecting that we can discuss questions/issues/etc on our way home.
