<p>Four days is a long time. Most parents leave the first or second day. Mine checked in the night before, helped out on move-in day, and then left mid-afternoon the day after… but we live far away, so I think they wanted to get their gas money’s worth. I wouldn’t have wanted them to stay any longer; it just meant that I was with them instead of making friends at Oberlin.</p>
<p>Although there are some panels and info sessions for parents on the second day; it’d be a good idea to check the orientation schedule to see if those are things you want to stuck around for.</p>
