Going away to college isn’t just nerve-wracking for the student. We know parents go through just as much anxiety, especially if it’s the first child leaving the nest.
At Michigan Tech, we take a great deal of pride in the strength of our parent community. You can access ParentNet, a weekly letter to parents from a Michigan Tech student, as well as a listserv just for Michigan Tech parents and an archive of discussion boards that offer loads of advice and insights from parents of Michigan Tech students who have gone through what you’re going through now. You’ll see pretty quickly that, as the parent of a Michigan Tech student, you’ll be part of an uncommonly cohesive and helpful community.
