There was a parents Facebook group for all the NUiN kids last fall.  Admittedly, it was an odd situation, with the pandemic stuff and kids living in a hotel 15-20 minutes from campus (no mail for example).  Northeastern gets loads of kids from far away, who's parents had real questions about the area.  That said, it was cringeworthy as often as not.  "Where can I buy a bunch of  boutique cupcakes for my daughter's birthday?".  I do think Gen Z is less independent, and the smothering doesn't help. They need to figure it out.

I was proud yesterday.  Daughter got off the wait list for a class. She wanted it so she could drop an 8:00 class, but realized it would unbalance her schedule (in terms of types of classes for her hybrid major).  She saw the problem herself, talked with me and decided to drop a different class.  So she now has 8:00 - 9:00 - 10:00 three days a week.  Not fun for a kid who sleeps past noon most days, but the mature decision.
