<p>I am sure this has been addressed in the past but just thought I would remind the MT parents...I know move-in day seems like a long ways off, but depending on what college you will be sending your child off to, be aware that hotels often fill up very quickly. I recently made a reservation in State College, Pa for August and a lot of the hotels in town were already full. Be sure to look at Bed and Breakfasts also; when we moved my daughter into Boston, we stayed at a historic B&B that was less than any of the hotels in the area- it really made the trip special! Also start looking at reservations for the parent weekend that a lot of colleges hold in October. That fills quickly also. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Parents’ weekend often coincides with a performance so if your child has to do “crew” that weekend it might not be the best time to go as they will be BUSY BUSY BUSY- or if it is the 10 of 12 rehearsal weekend so caveat emptor. Hotel reservations can always be cancelled but book your flights so you can still use the trip without penalties. JMHO. Happened at PSU 2 years in a row.</p>
