What Students Say to Parents
- College is not just going to class—I need to have fun, too!
- Make plans to come to Pitt for Family Weekend and visit me on campus when you can. I'm excited about college and I want to share it with you!
- Care packages, letters--even email--are very much appreciated, especially during the holidays, when I might be missing home and family a little more than usual.
- Trust me! Listen when I call with a problem, but let me try to handle it myself. I need your support and encouragement, but I also need to learn from my own mistakes. And don't worry; I'll remember the values and morals you instilled in me. I might, however, forget how to do laundry!
- Let me try new things. I might change everything from my major to my hair color, but I'm still the person you know and love.
