Midwest Parent may be right–it could be the type of program involved.
At D’s (medical school-clinical doctorate program) clearly parents were there in abundance and planned for. It seems that perhaps other types of programs as mentioned above, this is just not common practice.

What type of program is your D going into? Also, as someone mentioned, you could go along for the ride and play it by ear. If nothing else, you will be able to see the environment your D will be in, or go do some scouting around for the best shopping, apartments, etc nearby!

PS This same program at Duke and Emory (as well as Northwestern) all included parents. There were fewer parents at Duke’s than Emory’s I understand, fwiw)
