I went to only one move-in of five so far. H dropped S#1 at the airport curb–S took only a carry-on and laptop. (I mailed his bedding, extra clothes.) H drove D#1 about 8hrs, helped her move in, then flew home since D was keeping the car. S#2 was dropped off by D#1–at another college in the same city. S#3 drove with S#2 to same college. Finally, I was obliged to help D#2 move in last fall. Only two hours away. I helped her set up her room and drove home. I was expecting to be sad, but wasn’t .
All the schools had volunteers and carts to help the process go smoothly–even for students arriving alone. It is all about what works for your family when you consider relationships, expense, distance, time off work, etc. It is not something that I really wanted to be there for, so I don’t feel like I missed out. I have two more kids to go, so I still have a couple chances to do the freshman move-in.
