a bit of advice for 16 parents (something I wish others had told me)

<p>As you come to visit, pick one hotel/motel/inn and stick with it. Many places reward repeat visitors at graduation time. Do you realize how hard it might be to get reservations in June 2016? Start building your relationships now. (Most won't start taking reservations until July 2015 -- and that will be here before you know it!)</p>

<p>If you're driving from Logan, I have a set of driving directions (to and from) that I think are better than anything you can find on the Dartmouth site. (I'm the anal sort who wants to be sure when to be in which lane, etc.) If there's enough interest, I'll post them. You can PM me unless and until I reach the limit -- which will also be a decent measure of how much interest there is. </p>

<p>I swear I had a third thing, but can't remember it now. </p>

<p>Cheers, About the Same (parent of a '13 and already missing Hanover)</p>

<p>Great advice! In the future, can you please post in the parents’ thread? I think many more appreciative parents will see things there.</p>

<p>Good idea. I’ll repost there. That one just seems to have so much stuff that I thought more folks might spot it as a separate thread – but maybe others bookmark to that thread rather than Dartmouth generally.</p>

<p>I’m interested in the directions, thank you!</p>
