<p>Do people bring their parents to Admit Weekend? I know it says that parents are invited, but I wonder if most people are coming without their parents.</p>
<p>i'm not bringing mine</p>
<p>Um, there really isn't much for parents to do. You spend time doing things with the dorm you're in or other admits or going to both planned or unplanned activities. THere may be one or two workshops or events parents can go to, but nobody last year had a parent tagging along.</p>
<p>I can say that we discourage it for a reason - Admit weekend is your preview of what it's like to be a Stanford student. And parents only play a peripheral role there (if 45k a year can count as peripheral)</p>
<p>My husband I went to Admit Weekend when my son, who is now a junior, was admitted. We only saw him for a couple of minutes, but we were busy with lots of activities. There were many parents there.</p>
<p>While you're enjoying Admit Weekend, just send your parents north to San Francisco, the wine country and Lake Tahoe or south to Carmel, Big Sur and Hearst Castle.</p>
<p>If my son gets admitted and can go to Admit Weekend, he'll get there on the train like he does all the other days he's at the campus. :) We'll stay home and enjoy the break.</p>
<p>We brought son (now soph)-- spent no time with him but had a wonderful ourselves experiencing some classes and other parent oriented activities- it was the best intro to Stanford and far better than all the other admit weekends at other schools... reccommend it to all. #3 son is early admit and we intend to bring him out as well.</p>
