@TLD1267 So are you saying the parent orientation is not worth it? Or that you were not able to attend it? I kept going back and forth and decided to attend it after all.

Other questions… and keep in mind S is my first child to college. Can you explain the FERPA policy at UConn and what access parents may have? I believe it will be covered at the parent orientation but if you could share your thoughts that would be great.

What dorms has your D lived in? Thoughts? S was accepted into a learning community so let me know if you have experience with those.

It seems like you’ve gone through it now several years - so what is your final opinion on what to bring and not bring to UConn. S wants a bike, not a cheap one either, but one of the expensive commuting foldable ones. Is that necessary? Also wants a PS4 but I keep saying that he should not have time for video games.
