My kid loves this particular school and was over the moon when he got accepted. We submitted our decision back to the school right away.
Now, he wants to go on a Revisit day just to be there again. He doesnt need to go to make his decision. My husband doesnt mind going too because he couldnt join for the tour and the interviews during the application process.
Is it too silly and uncommon to come back on Revisit day just to reconnect with the school ?
Not at all. Kids feel more comfortable the more time they spend on campus prior to going. I’m sure a lot of kids are in the same position. Go and enjoy it.
Your son can also get to know some of his future teachers and they will likely remember him when he shows up in the fall. He can also ask any specific questions he has now that he knows for sure he will be attending like dress code, what is allowed in dorms, etc.
If he wants to go and it isn’t a problem I say go ahead and enjoy. He may connect with some people and learn a few new tidbits about the school – and at the very least you can pick up some swag at the bookstore.
Congrats on a wonderful outcome for your S!
It’s a great question. Your family’s excitement is palpable.
Many benefits to attending if you can fit it in. At the very least, your son will likely connect with some prospective and current students and be able to stay in touch with them over the summer.
It’s also fairly easy for parents to connect with others. It’s great to be able to reach out to other parents between April and September. We also ended up becoming good friends with several families merely because we met during Revisit weekends.
Have fun!
Go. You will see the school in a different light. It will help you connect with other parents of the class, as well.
By all means, go.
You will all learn more about what is available and what to expect and you can get excellent about next fall.
Thank you so much everyone for responding! ! We’ll go
