<p>Our kids are first gen college, and while older Ds school did have some parent stuff for freshmen year, it seemed concentrated on useful information.
Financial aid, tuition insurance/management, signing of privacy release forms for student for medical, grades etc.
You only had to go to what you thought would be useful, I didn’t have the impression you were expected to do everything.</p>
<p>Next daughter is eight years younger & she was out of country for early registration which pretty much messed up her freshman year but she was aware of it when she made her plans and this is a child who needs to learn through experience.
We do go for parents weekend, she enjoys it I think as much as we do!
