southbaymom: I have a son heading to Harvard in the fall, but have some suggestions for your coast to coast move having made the opposite trek with older son who is at Stanford. This is what we did: We each flew out to the convocation with two suitcases jam-packed with his stuff (so 8 suitcases since younger S came too) and returned with suitcases stuffed inside each other. We shipped his books (not textbooks, but special personal books) and X-box via UPS and had them hold it at their shipping center. We rented a car while we were out there and picked up the shipped boxes. We bought a cheap bike for him at the local Target. THis was a good decision since it was stolen over Christmas break. :). I do not know what Harvard has planned for move in. Is there a convocation? Depending on if there is anything for parents on Friday, we will probably fly home on Friday. I think it works out better to be there a day or two before, rather than after. They need to move in and move on. So long parents.
And a question: Has anyone received a mailing with Health forms?
