'GMA' anchors share behind

The "GMA" family is growing up!

George Stephanopoulos, Michael Strahan and Lara Spencer all dropped a child off at college this weekend to start their freshman year.

Stephanopoulos and Spencer were each in Nashville dropping off their daughters, Harper and Kate, respectively, at Vanderbilt University, while Strahan was in Durham, North Carolina dropping his daughter, Sophia, off at Duke University.

"It’s a major life change," said Stephanopoulos.

"It’s a huge adventure for Harper," said Stephanopoulos. "She’s never lived in Nashville before and the campus was amazing."

Stephanopoulos said sending their youngest child off to college will undoubtedly bring a change for he and his wife, Ali Wentworth.

"Ali and I met and got married within nine months, and had a baby nine months later, so we’ve never known a house without kids really."

Stephanopoulos said he and his wife are "a little nervous, but excited too" about the prospect of becoming "empty-nesters" with their older daughter, Elliott, a junior at Brown University.

Wentworth posted a photo on Instagram Monday from college drop-off with a caption expressing the mixed emotions that accompany sending a child off to college.

"I know our daughter will thrive. But man, it's brutal on the parents," Wentworth wrote. "If you feel inclined- please send me baked goods. I’ll be under my covers."

The couple's advice to Harper: "Go with the flow. Be engaged. Be curious."

Stephanopoulos was not the only "GMA" anchor to send their child off to Vanderbilt this week.

"GMA's" Lara Spencer also marked the major milestone, dropping off her daughter, Kate, at Vanderbilt.

Spencer posted a photo on Instagram Monday with her daughter, Kate, captioned, "College here we come."

Spencer, who is the creator and host of “Flea Market Flip,” shared photos with "GMA" of getting Kate's dorm room all set up, and smiling for family photos on campus.

Kate and Harper will be in the same class and Stephanopoulos said the two freshmen were able to meet up before school started.

In North Carolina, co-anchor Michael Strahan kept to the theme as he dropped off his daughter, Sophia, for her freshman year of college at Duke University. Strahan posted a photo on Instagram Monday with the caption, "Dropped off the youngest of the tribe @sophialstrahan at college! Can’t believe how time has flown by and I’m so proud of her. I know she is going to crush college life!! #DukeDad."

In the post, Strahan is seen checking out the campus and shopping with his daughter, Sophia, for dorm essentials. He said more photos will come soon of dropping off Sophia's twin sister, Isabella, at school as well.
