<p>As the parent of a rising sophomore who stayed last year for convocation, I would now say that I would not would have wanted to miss it…</p>
<p>It is steeped in tradition and revelry and is a great start to an Elon college education for both the student and the parents…</p>
<p>You will not be in your son’s hair on Friday night because there are dorm activities scheduled all night (without parents)…</p>
<p>Most parents left sometime on Saturday afternoon/evening, depending on their methods of transportation…we drove back last year right smack into Hurricane Irene on Saturday (a trip I will not soon forget!); hope you have better luck…</p>
