The University Parent Connection is a relatively new website offering advice to parents of college students and college-bound students. University Parent provides advice about all of the typical concerns that parents have as their children prepare for college. In addition to advice about college planning, financing, and admissions University Parent provides online guides to specific colleges and universities. University Parent plans to have a parent community discussion forum in the near future. The discussion forum could be a good place for parents to share experiences and learn from each other.
After checking out the University Parent Connection, you may also want to give these college planning resources a look:

Saw your post come up in my RSS reader. Thanks for the additional information. I am giving a few college scholarship workshops at our local library for those who may not be as active on the computer. Thanks!

Thanks for your comment. Glad that I could help.
I have earmarked your blog on the Google Docs used in the workshop, so the participants will visit your blog to access the links you shared. The workshops are not limited to just students or just parents and as a parent and a grad student I encourage everyone to find some niche in returning to school. Thanks again for sharing this info.
Parenting College Students is more important than ever. It is the second largest financial investment most families make besides their home. It is both a financial investment and an emotional investment. Parents want to do this "right". This often means allowing the student to learn valuable lessons that may not be taught in the classroom.
