Part 2: Sending Gen Z to College – What Has Changed?

In this episode of Chat and Bother, Don and Eva discuss their recent experience of moving kids into their college dorms and how it’s changed over the years. They’ll compare the practical, no-frills dorm decorating of the 90s—milk crates and posters, anyone?—to the carefully coordinated, Pinterest-inspired setups of today – powered by parents.

We’ll also examine the shift in parenting styles, discussing how Gen X parents are much more involved in their kids’ college lives compared to the hands-off approach many boomer parents took. Join us for a conversation about how these changes reflect broader cultural shifts and what it means for students and families alike.
