<p>"@Shrinkwrap - which sessions for parents do you highly recommend? Time is limited, so may only choose a few…what do you think? "</p>
<p>I’ll have to look over the agenda when I get home. They gave a copy of just about all the power point slides, and that has been really helpful. </p>
<p>What I’m thinking about right now is how all the student account stuff works, i.e. payment plans. I think the first payment for the 5 payment/smester plan may be coming up shortly.</p>
<p>I was also very pleased with the opportunity to lunch with the deans of the schools, and was blown away that they knew my sons name ( although I guess it wasn’t THAT hard to figure out). Son said he was pretty much told what to register for, inlcuding an 8 AM class two days a week, and classes Friday. No way my D ( a rising college senior) would have gone for that!. He doesn’t get too many choices. I am under the impression they hold classes for kids in the last sessions to make it fair. </p>
<p>The session on “everything else” (but academics) was helpful and entertaining. Stuff about meal plans, and points, and housing, and IT. </p>
<p>My tour was a waste, as was the stuff about finanical aid if you are not eligible for financial aid. But that session also included stuff about Jesuit philosophies and career planning.</p>
