Today we helped our son, who is a sophomore, move into college. He lived at home last year. Although he is in a university not far from home (30 mins away) and spent a lot of time at school last year, this is a big adjustment for us, including our 15 year old daughter who will miss him, too! How's everyone else doing with college move in starting?

We moved our son in Thursday. This is our first one going to school. It was really hard. He is about 45 minutes away. We actually went up and brought a few things that he left behind. Still will have to make one more trip because there are a few other things he decided he wanted. I was better today because we met his roommate. He is settled in and loving it so far.

Our son is actually coming home to pick up some things tomorrow he still wants and to go to lunch with my parents, because it's my mom's bday...Chances are I won't get to see him because I have "sneak a peek" at my own school until 5 pm. I just closed his bedroom door and am pretending he is at a friend's tonight  I'm glad to hear your son is doing well! |

Both of mine are back at school. My daughter goes to a school six hours away and she started last Monday. My son is at a school even further away and he starts on Tuesday. My daughter is a sophomore and my son is a senior. You'd think I'd be used to an empty house but they were both home all summer and I got used to having them around again.

We took ds a week ago. He's 5 hours away and it was tough! Dd is 14 and adores him, she was just sobbing when we got back in the car. The ride home was pretty sober.
I left for a work trip the next day and that helped a lot in terms if distraction. We have texted a few times and just had a great FaceTime conversation tonight. He's feeling a little homesick. He's home for the weekend in two weeks ( 1 year anniversary with his girlfriend).

Is he at Lincoln? Hubby and I both graduated from UNL. |

We leave this afternoon to drive our DD to her university 16 hours away. She's entering her 2nd year. I'm already dreading the trip home. It's been wonderful having her home for the summer. When we leave her on Friday we won't see her until she flies home for Christmas.

Went fine. My dd went back for her junior year. She went early because she's an orientation advisor for the women in engineering program.
Weird to only take one kid back though now that the oldest has graduated and is living on her own and being a grownup!

DS is a senior at his college moving in today. It will be his last semester and he will be graduating in December. Classes start tomorrow for him. His University is only an hour away so it isn't too bad.
Debbie in MD.

Same here...moved her in last Thursday. She's about two hours north of us now and could not possibly be happier. She has three roommates and her suite has a study room, bedroom, and a private bathroom. Helped them all get settled last week and they are all really sweet and get along great. I was doing alright until Saturday when my youngest (16) asked when she was coming home. It was then that I realized I had no idea (she's going to Chicago for Thanksgiving and not sure what she wants to do for Christmas).  *cue tears!

We moved DS in yesterday. He is technically a senior (enough credits to be a senior but changed majors and needs more in his major)and is living in campus affiliated housing an hour and a half away. He didn't take as much with him as in past years, so it went pretty smoothly. We unloaded, his dad and I ran to Walmart for the things he forgot, and by the time we got back, he was pretty well set up. He was really happy to be back and DH and I suspect there is a girl that is causing that. He is our super private kid, so he could be married before we know about it.

It was the first time in 6 years that we didn't take a kid to college. My son crammed everything in his car and left Saturday morning. He didn't want to take a lot because he will only be on campus for one semester and then he has an internship second semester and he isn't sure where that will be. So he packed his Mustang until it looked liked it would burst. He even took an aquarium and his fish, it was pretty amazing how much stuff he took.
