<p>Sara - Wecome to posting in the Parent Forum! To get responses to your question, it works best to start a thread in the Parent Forum rather than post here in the Welcome thread. I am going to do that for you to get it started. In the future, you can click on the button “New Thread” above the list of active threads and start any new topic there.</p>
<p>There are many parents with the art school situation here and I’m sure they will post to share their experiences.</p>
<p>jmmom, I saw your name and followed you up here only to find that we totally ignored a new poster back at the end of September. :eek: </p>
<p>LetItBe, what a great name! You’ll find someone to match every description you can come up with but several of us live for the “Hidden Gems”. If you are still around let us know.</p>
<p>Were we supposed to do something other than dive in? A formal introduction, perhaps? Who knew?</p>
<p>Allmusic , this is CC. CC , Allmusic. There. That takes care of that. ;)</p>
<p>Thank you, Cur. I like to play by the rules. :D</p>
<p>So the Cafe is now the CafA~ (that should go on top of the “A” but I cant do it, not can I find the copywrite symbol, which is apparently also next to the new spelling of the cafe at the top of this thread). A victim of the server changeover??)</p>
<p>I’m not sure where to post this but thought I’d try the Cafe. I have a question about Connecticut College My son is interested and applied to the college and is in contact with the coach, etc so I’ve read up quite a bit on the school. It seems a major complaint is “nothing to do on the campus”… He wants to major in one of the sciences and has also applied to a few other NESCAC schools but I think he’s leaning toward Conn if he gets in. Any opinions on Conn College in general?</p>
<p>Hi maiby-
curmudgeon moved your post to the general parents forum, so I posted what little info I had there. The concern about ‘nothing to do on campus’ or things feeling too small after two or three years was one we had about some of the smaller colleges as well. I know a lot of kids go abroad their third year, though. Good luck!</p>
<p>I’d like a breve venti latte, please. :D</p>
<p>Hello! </p>
<p>I am the mother of a junior, who is beginning the college search process. I usually take on the administrative assistant duities in our family. </p>
<p>When I googled the interweb with my questions, discussions from this site usually appeared at the top of the search results, so I finally decided to join!</p>
<p>So much information! :)</p>
<p>Hello to all the helpful and intelligent posters! I have so enjoyed all your info since discovering your site much too late. Now in the afterglow of the end of the whole app process (DD EA Harvard), I wish all 2012 parents bon courage!</p>
<p>I finally decided to get on board and join in after searching and reading through all this wonderful information. My d is just finishing her junior year and we are ready for a summer of college searches. Her dad and I are trying to be supportive, she has a passion for drama major. Hopefully we will come up with a “Plan B” for her as we start this exciting journey!</p>
<p>Welcome, calicorose. Memorable name. Have some fun along the way. We did and everything worked out.</p>
<p>Hai everybody,
I am Vennam. A dad of Son going to Senior Grade in Houston High in Germantown/TN. I am new to this forum. I would like to say hello to everyone.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Hello Vennam.</p>
<p>You might like to start a thread here to introduce yourself so everyone can see it…</p>
<p>Welcome</p>
<p>Vamsee…you might ask the mods to remove that personal information about your son’s high school and town. Most posters do not publically reveal detailed information about their children for fear that other students will tease them about what you’ve said.</p>
<p>Hi Parents! I am looking for advice. I’m taking my daughter 2000 miles from home to Providence RI. The thought of the move is daunting. Does anyone have advice? I don’t post very often…I’m a little shy about all this.</p>
<p>Welcome, osage. There are several threads on cross country moves, which you could post on - mostly focused on concerns re getting the stuff there, travel issues etc. I will look for a few to give links for you. Reason being, that topical posts could easily get lost here on this “Welcome” thread.</p>
<p>Edit: Hmmm, I can’t seem to find many of them right now, but this thread has a lot of relevant info: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=53990[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=53990</a>.</p>
<p>I know you’re feeling shy, but if you start a thread titled Advice on move to college 2000 miles away", you will get tons of replies… Because many parents have the same need for advice on that topic right now.</p>
<p>If your concerns are more about (or also about) the empty nest or worries about sadness when they go away, then a thread such as this might be a good one for you:

<p>Hi everyone. I’m new here and just introducing myself. Looking forward to getting more familiar with the community and chiming in from time to time!</p>
<p>Welcome, proudamericanmom.</p>
