Hi Harvard 2013 Parents! We just got through graduation yesterday and now it’s time to give some thought to August. I will be dropping my student off for International Student Orientation, then will have to return to my home in Europe before the actual move-in starts. I am sick that I will not be there with my child. If you see kids without parents, please volunteer to help them! Mine will not ask for help, but will need it. (And when your kids come to Europe and look lost or need help, I always volunteer, so maybe your kindness will be repaid directly- if not, somone else’s kid will benefit.)

There was a posting earlier in another thread with stores located on a Boston/Cambridge map. For those of you like us who cannot carry a lot, there is a Target close enough to a T (metro) stop to buy dorm supplies, but you’ll probably need to take a taxi back to the dorms if you have lots of goodies.

I also read in another post that Harvard does allow students to store a small amount at the university for the summer, so we don’t have to mail things or buy again new the following year.

Any other ex-pat parents out there who have hints for the naive newbies among you, please pass on your words of wisdom.
