Unit 1 Campus life

A

Reporter: Autumn rings in a season of possibilities for new college students. Many, including 18-year-old Emily Bishko, will be leaving their parents for the very first time.

Emily Bishko: I honestly, like, feel like I am old.

Father: Yeah?

Emily Bishko: And that I - but I also feel like I don't belong here, like I'm too young to be here.

Reporter: Her parents listen to their grown-up little girl with a bittersweet mix of emotions.

Mother: It's such a range from the happiest feeling to the saddest feeling. Happiness for her because she's gonna go, and happiness for us because we're gonna move into this next phase. But then, oh, my

gosh, she's gonna go.

Reporter: The Bishkos travel halfway across the country, from Atlanta to St. Louis.

Emily Bishko: That's everything out of the trunk, right?

Reporter: To help Emily get settled in at Washington University.

Mother: Do you need batteries?

Emily Bishko: No.

Reporter: There are lots of adjustments in store, and it's just the moment for a healthy dose of sarcasm. Father: There's plenty of room in here, don't you think, for two people and all their clothing, books, and computers? And it shouldn't be any problem at all.

Reporter: It's a far cry from the spacious home where Emily grew up. She'll have to hold on tight to the memories of her favorite meals with her parents and big brother, Jack.

Emily Bishko: You said you had some advice for me when I go off to college.

Reporter: And evening romps with the two family dogs.

Emily Bishko: I'm gonna miss this guy.

Reporter: And for mom and dad, it's time now to let go.

Mother: We started with a newborn baby, and it's 18 years later, and she's been very successful, and we're very proud to see where she started to where she now has ended up.

Father: At some point in a child's life, you have to let them become the adult and mature into the adult. And I think, you know, it's this letting go that's hard to do, but it's very important to do.

Reporter: And so begins the process. Back at school, there is advice for all concerned.

Reporter: Like many colleges across the country, Washington University offers orientation programs not just for nervous freshmen but for the parents who leave them behind. The sessions are held separately to

cushion the blow of letting go. The one Emily's parents attend features a skit with students who

reenact the first phone call home.

Actor: Hello, mom? Hi. You remember that credit card you gave me just for emergencies?

Well, I was at the bookstore and - hi, dad. Now I'm talking to both of you.

Reporter: Also on hand to offer insights, Wash U's Karen Coburn. She wrote the book Letting Go. Karen Coburn: I think that a lot of parents find it very confusing. Because one minute their child wants them to be with them and says, "Are you coming here with me?" and the next minute, their child is practically running ten steps ahead of them so that the parent doesn't seem to be associated with them at all.

Reporter: After all, there are new friends, new experiences, newfound freedoms.
