<p>Any parents going to Family Weekend, or have gone in the past? There was a tornado last year, so we didn’t go, but plan to give it a try this year. We’ve been asked to the President’s house Friday evening (probably everyone has). Is that reception worth going up a day early and staying in a motel? (All the B&Bs are booked at this point.)</p>
<p>We enjoyed making a weekend of it last year (though there was a freak snow storm and the concert was canceled). The president’s reception was crowded but a good way of meeting/chatting with people. There was a nice mix of things to do without your student, and free to time to spend with him/her. Botstein’s Q&A with parents (separate from the reception) was well worth attending.</p>
<p>Thanks. That’s right, a snow storm, not a tornado. Hopefully, this year will be better.</p>
