Brittin- It's totally normal. They are about to leave everything they know and love for a huge unknown. Sometimes they lash out too- called "spoiling the nest" which helps them separate from you and ultimately helps you separate from them also. The day of drop off with my daughter (10 hours away) was really, really tough. We were both sobbing. I cannot begin to imagine what it is like to immediately begin a competitive recruitment when having just gone through a massive upheaval emotionally. I understand they do it because it is easier on the collegians to not have classes interfere with recruitment, but to me, it's a very rough time already and recruitment just adds a boat load more stress to the whole situation.
