<p>I think this is a really good point. My son’s freshman year, he came home for a few days at Thanksgiving, the Christmas break, and then when he went back in January, didn’t come home at all until June. Spring is the season, and the team went all the way to the Final Four Championship weekend. He isn’t so far away that we can’t get up to see most games (another consideration for parents), but it was too far for him to be making trips home.</p>
