<p>While of Owl Days is all about helping prospies get to know the campus, there’s another audience that gets a lot out of the experience – prospie parents. In our case, we’d come from a considerable distance, for the first time, to see one of the schools which opened its doors to our son. We wanted to feel good about Rice – and so when our son was assigned to a residential college, we found our way over to see where he’d be sleeping, and we talked with professors, and shared our opinions of our options with other parents. We asked our tour guide lots of questions and talked to so many friendly students and walked around knowing quite soon that there couldn’t be a better place
for our son. Dinner in Rice Village was so lovely – and walking from Rice Village back to our hotel at close to midnight and feeling very comfortable was another plus. By the time we saw our son again the next morning, it already felt like home. Yes, there was still one prospie event left to attend – but it didn’t stand a chance! </p>
<p>If any prospie parents have questions – we have quite a few active parents here…</p>
