If your S knows his roommates (or any others who are attending the same BB session), if they check in together at the same time, the boys will room together in the same dorm suite. Parents are in a different wing of dorm, away from students. A lot of the students (new friends!) go out to dinner together (via walking) or have group dinners arranged by BB…and a lot of the parents pool together too and do the same thing. There will be many other families with cars. If you are a fairly open and outgoing person, you will have no problem finding people to share rides with, eat with, and talk with! They will probably become your new CC friends for life. There are usually parent receptions in a side room off the lobby in the dorm for mingling. Students are even given a bama cash card for some meals on campus (think ~$12?). Unless you make a conscious effort, you might not see much of your student during BB. Good luck!
