According to "The Wall Street Journal," they love cutting loose during parents' weekend, and the kids don't mind either as it allows them to see a different side of their parents.
The news outlet spoke to several parents who visit their kids during this time, including 53-year-old Melissa DeLeon who has visited her nine children across three campuses to party with them.
She says she has battled tons of gross toilets and even held a student's hair while they were puking. "You smile and you roll with it,” she said.
In a TikTok video, DeLeon advised parents to bring Tums because their stomachs aren't how they used to be.
She admits to sneaking small bottles of Tito's Vodka in her fanny pack so she doesn't have to consume cheap beer.
