<p>Hi all,
I was wondering if parents typically attend Visitas with the students? I live on the West Coast, so attending is somewhat of a hassle and an expensive one. My mom was excited to come with me, but I don't think I would see her hardly at all over the weekend, and I'm trying to figure out how to tell her/convince her I should come alone without making her feel bad. Am I totally wrong in thinking this weekend is not for parents?</p>
<p>In past years, Harvard has had specific and separate activities for parents – workshops on financial aid, what college life will be like for your student, tours of the school etc. If your parents attend, you can meet up (or not) during your time at Harvard. That said, we did not attend.</p>
<p>Thanks Gibby! Talked to my mom and she totally understood. Can’t wait for prefrosh!</p>
