We have 2 kids in college this year. One is in his 3rd year at Providence College and one is in her 1st year at Western New England University. They are both living on campus because we believe it will be a great experience for them, not just for the fun parts, but to help them grow up a bit and learn who they really are. It took our oldest two years to really enjoy being there, and now we hardly hear from him or see him!
My daughter is trying to settle into school and make friends, but she’s seeing that it’s hard and lonely at times. She keeps asking me to send her a care package or something fun. She put together a list of ideas that she would love to receive in her college mailbox.
