<p>It’s kind of a drag to have to go to such a late orientation, but the others were all full by the time he received the go-ahead to sign up. The way this works out, he’ll only have a month between orientation and move-in, so we’re hoping to avoid the extra expense of sending a parent. The whole family will be coming for move-in (why do I feel like we’re re-enacting the Beverly Hillbillies??)… Like mdcissp, I worry most about the course signups, but I’m hoping S can consult with me on the phone if he has any questions. And he can fly home the night that orientation ends, so I’m not worried about the travel part. Hope it will work out.</p>
