<p>Interesting to see what has and hasn’t changed since I drafted this in 2003. Cell phones certainly make a difference - are they still using IMs or texting these days? TWIC and mandatory sneaker styles are new.</p>

<p>A comment for parents on the weather at KP - it is on the water and thus is HUMID and windy. Do explore everywhere and take pictures of everything so you have an idea of what they are talking about. And the photobook is wonderful to showoff to friends and relatives. Your next 4 years or so is quite an adventure for both students and their parents. Also a major challenge in the independance and letting go thing for both sides. Breathe, as you just have to go with the flow.</p>
