<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I don't get along with my parents, and I don't plan on bringing them to move-in day at my college. Do a lot of people move-in by themselves? What do you guys suggest I do?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Make sure you don’t forget things, I suppose.</p>
<p>Are you completely separated from them?</p>
<p>Yes, almost totally separated. I’m thinking I’ll go by myself. Hopefully I’ll be okay!</p>
<p>I think most are there with parents. Plus it couldn’t be a drag to some students since for the rest of the week, or month etc… they would be more independent then ever.</p>
<p>I moved in by myself and I was fine. I actually enjoyed not having to drag my parents around whereever I went.</p>
<p>I moved in without parents. They never visited me. I was fine, but only for a while. I did not really made friends so that they would be willing remain to stay friends, even just causal friends (birthday parties, or other occasions even just once or twice a year). I did not realize it until after I already moved out from dorms and tried to get ahold of them via facebook or phone. Now I expect my birthday that comes next week to be very sad and lonely, not only without friend’s wishes, but even parents’. Last year they did not call me though they had my number, until I went home few days later for weekend then they wished me.</p>
<p>While most students move in with parents, some do not. For instance, my older S had to move himself in as a freshman because his dad and I were out of the country. Other students move themselves in because their parents can’t take time off from work, can’t afford the trip or have other obligations preventing their attending.</p>
<p>If, however, phillyphilly there’s any way that you can reconcile with your parents, it could be nice to have them with you. Inviting them may be a way of healing your relationship with them.</p>
