<p>Hi there. I'm planning ahead and making reservations for fall/spring parents' weekends and am wondering if I should get a room with an extra bed so DC can stay with us in the room. This is DC's first year away and we just have no idea what's the "norm" in this regard. I figure DC might possibly want a chance to get away from the dorm and spend some quiet "down time" with us. Yes? No?</p>
<p>Also, do grandparents ever attend in addition to parents? My folks are dying to see their grandkids' schools and want to participate, but I have no idea if that's kosher or not.</p>
<p>Anything else I should think about or know re: parents' weekends? For what it's worth, we're not terribly far (1.5 hours to DS's school, 2.5 hours to DD's school -- yes, we are sending TWO kids for the first time this year), so we will be driving.</p>
<p>Thanks for your tips!</p>
