<p>Is it worth attending Parent's Weekend? We are not much for big social gatherings with strangers, but I don't want to miss it if it is really important. My S is a Freshman and I don't think he cares much if we come or not. (He would like us to visit, I think, but not necessarily as part of an event.) I am thinking I would rather come a different weekend and take him hiking, out to dinner, etc. Any thoughts from people who have attended this event in the past?</p>
