Well, our Turkey and Greek Islands vacation is coming up in only a couple of weeks. Last night I was refreshing my knowledge of converters/transformers and adapters for the various appliances. It doesn't look too bad.
We recently made a visit to L's new university and she is all registered for her first year courses (which are filling up really fast). Kids today are lucky...all the parents wanted to enroll.... nice
facilities. They even have laundry tutorials in residence, lol.
Some interesting facts we learned:
80% of students change programs in first year
Average grades drop 13%
If the kids are coming home too often, it's a sign they may not be adjusting well
The university is not liable to contact you for much beyond life or
death situations. They
have to respect the student's privacy as an adult.
Alcohol is the number 1 issue, especially in residence
It will be an adjustment for us. Some friends of friends...their son just
checked out of university and
with all the tuition money too! Don't know how they found out.
