<p>My D will be graduating in the spring. Yay! We are so proud.</p>
<p>Anyway, when checking the ND calendar, it lists graduation as Friday, Saturday and Sunday. How should I plan?</p>

<p>^^^This can provide you with some info–note that the schedule is for 2012. As I recall, you can somewhat pick and choose events to attend. ND will be timely with getting the info for 2013, but maybe this site can offer you some help.</p>
<p>Thanks so much.</p>
<p>My son is graduating this spring as well. Can you believe how fast time has flown by?! There is a mass on Saturday - late afternoon and commencement first thing Sunday morning followed by ceremonies from the individual colleges afterwards. Sounds like we won’t be done until 4pm! </p>
<p>Please consider booking your accomodations now - if you need them. I booked weeks ago because I need large suites. The four “nice” hotels nearby are already full.</p>
<p>My husband got so excited he has reservations for Th, F, S & Sunday nights. Thank goodness all of the reservations are refundable/changeable. We don’t want to miss a thing, but there is such thing as work. Also, my daughter’s twin brother’s graduation is that very week. Not to mention her younger sister’s HS graduation is just a few weeks after that. I am thinking of arriving F early afternoon and staying through to Sunday afternoon/evening.</p>
<p>You will want to get there on Friday and stay through Sunday, minimum! Daughter graduated in 2011 and we couldn’t get enough of it! She was a pre-prof. (med school) and music major, so she had her Graduation concert on Friday night. Then we put together a big party at her apartment for all her friends and families that night-total fun! Saturday keeps you busy with college receptions, honors assemblies and then, of course, the Mass- not to be missed. Graduation is Sunday morning with smaller “graduations” following it. All in all a very busy, but memorable weekend! Don’t miss it. Get there early! Congratulations!</p>
