Is it worth going to, or is just crazy hectic? My husband it debating coming in that weekend or just another. Do the freshman without family there seem really sad or relieved?
@texcalmom: If you are planning to travel a long distance to attend, then I would reconsider. My husband and I went only since we live within 2 hours of campus. I also had a niece looking at colleges and SDSU was one school of interest. Other than being able to see my son, see how he was faring as a Freshman, we only attended the Football game. It was not crazy hectic but parking was an issue (as always on big events) so there was really nothing that special about the weekend other than having some family time.
It really will depend upon how your student will feel not having family attend the event. My son would have been fine either way but again we live in close proximity and could visit easily on other weekends.
My daughter told me that if we didnt attend she would be really sad… we are local. she is the type that wanted us at every high school event as well
We are local and attending Fri picnic and Sat BBQ and game. I’m quite sure the $200 is a not good value for the 3 of us but it’s done.
