<p>Are there parents out there who would be interested in starting an AU parents thread in the parents cafe? I feel like I would like to chat with other parents, but being on this thread, I feel sometimes that I am infringing on our kids. I’ll start an Au thread. Please join me!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t infringe on that space. My d. has had a fabulous first year: fine teachers who pushed her, a terrific roommate, a tremendous work-study job at which she learned heaps, a trip to southern Mexico with mostly graduate students over spring break to study economic development, lots of good contacts for internships, amazing help in preparation for interviews, and landed an extraordinary internship for the summer (and maybe for next year as well.) I can’t begin to tell you how pleased we are. It has well exceeded our expectations.</p>
<p>(For any other details, you are welcome to PM me.)</p>
<p>Rather than starting an AU thread in the parent’s forum, I think it’s better to start a parent’s thread in the AU forum (like this one, lol). The parent’s forum would get pretty cluttered up if each school had its own thread there.</p>
<p>I feel your pain though. My D’s college forum goes for weeks on end without a post. You might look for a parent forum on the AU website; some schools have ways for parents to communicate electronically with each other.</p>
