Nowadays, there are so many ways to communicate and to let them know the ties with home aren’t broken:

• Phone and cell phone
• Text messaging
• E-mail
• Facebook or similar
• Skype of similar
• Postal mail
• “Care” packages

I think our granddaughter has received all of these types of communications from her parents, brother, grandparents, friends and aunt.  We know her ups and downs and she knows we’re all here and care.

Nowadays the means of communication are so many versus my college days when we wrote letters to parents and they to us.  We used the phone only for emergencies because long distance calls weren’t in the family budget.

When our daughter attended college, we used the phone a little more.  But the postal mail was the main means of messages back and forth.

How do you keep in touch with your college students?

Communicating with Your College Student

I want to know how many of you are doing this exact thing? Was it what you expected? If not, why? For me, I think I always expected the whole group study thing going on.

But being the mother of four that is a bit different, the only group studying I do is maybe reading my posts to my kids. Yes, I said posts, meaning that I take a few of my classes online. That’s one thing that I did not think about so long ago when I first thought of college, but it is one of the easiest ways to being a college student and mom. But at the same time it is harder because you don’t get that one on one with the teacher and you can’t really do the hands-on portion.

Today, I took my final in my worse subject….math. But I already got my grade and I’ll be passing the class with an A. Woo hoo! Now to wait for my next two classes to end to find out how I did. I did study for the test, but not as I would’ve back in high school. How do you study? Can’t wait to hear back from ya’ll.
