Do you fly out every fall to help your child move in? When our freshman son moved into his dorm in August, the whole family went to help and get a sense for where he would be living for the next year. We spent a week sightseeing around the area and attending parent orientation (which we won't have to do next fall). DH and were discussing vacations for next year and I mentioned all of us going to help move DS into his sophomore dorm (he will be in a different building). DH doesn't think we necessarily need to go next fall. I'm sure DS could handle unpacking his own things (we're using a summer storage service that will deliver his boxes directly to his new room). But, personally, I would like to see his new building, meet his roommates (he'll be in a four-person suite with two rooms and a shared bathroom), and make sure he's all set for the year. Plus, we definitely have a lot more sightseeing to do in the area around his school.
So, if your child has to fly to and from school, do you fly out with them to move in each year?
