Ronsard-m’aimait- My daughter is a rising sophomore and my son will be a freshman. My Daughter will be helping with FIP and son will be attending. They are a really helpful group and I think your child will enjoy it. They take them to the mall and help them set up bank accounts, cell phones etc. in addition to having a lot of fun.
As for bringing/buying stuff… My idea for this year is to order stuff especially bedding online and have it delivered to my sons harvard mail address. They have handtrucks that you can take from the mail room to the dorm. For the other little stuff will have to make a trip to Target or Bed Bath and Beyond I suppose. My impression last year was that parents and students were very helpful, we had a rental car and took numerous trips during move in day to stores and generally had an extra kid or parent tagging along. Feel free to PM me if you want more specific information especially regarding FIP. I will try to think of things that were helpful last year and ask my D as well.
