<p>I’m headed to see my kid the first weekend in November. His U started so late, he will just be done with midterms then. We don’t get a lot of details or texts ----so different from my daughter’s first year, now 3 years ago. I look forward to meeting some of his pals. He’s weathered his first wretched head cold/respiratory virus that did send him to the health center at one point. Not fun.</p>
<p>I DO remember my daughter’s need to sleep in the hotel whenever we visited while she was still in the dorms. They get so exhausted and crave quiet and a BIG bed, I think. And privacy.</p>
