Parents' Weekend Expectations - Boston College

<p>Thanks for your kind words. Scottj and bluebayou definitely know so much about BC, I just have a lot of passion for the school. Our family has been attending football and hockey games for many years, so I am on campus quite a bit. I do have a child still there - but in the law school. Another child has both undergrad and grad degrees from the college.</p>

<p>Just want to add that parking is not permitted in any BC parking lots on game day unless you have paid for a permit - and those are bought for the entire football season. Also, you are not allowed to park in the neighborhoods around campus. I have friends who park in the Chestnut Hill Shopping Mall lot and walk over (1+ miles), but we take the T, getting on at Riverside (D line) and getting off at the Chestnut Hill stop and walking over. It is a lovely neighborhood to walk through and you come to the back side of the campus- just follow the crowds. If you are coming from Boston, take the Green Line B line and get off right in front of BC.</p>

<p>Your younger son will be able to sit with his brother in the student section. I would think the students would love to have a little brother to toss up after they score a touchdown (and the little brother will never forget the experience!). H and I always sit in the student section when there is rain (and we certainly don’t look like students anymore!). There is always room and we get there early to sit under the overhang. We have never been asked to leave and there are always others there as well.</p>

<p>You are in for a wonderful weekend. Enjoy and welcome to the BC family!</p>
