I would be unhappy, worried, and angry if advisors discouraged contact.
^Me, too, @twinsmama although I can easily envision parents who abuse that access.
This is a very good issue for the parents of new admits to suss out as they help their kids make their decisions. For some families it matters a lot, for others not much at all.
Good point however you may not realize prior to needing it whether it will matter to you a lot or a little. It can b hard to predict a student’s adjustment and process over the 4 years of BS. I’d want to err on the side of more welcoming just in case.
Yes, very true. In any case it would be good to know going into it.
