Family Weekend Sep 23-25 2016

There is a separate thread on here each annual Family Weekend at UA, so thought I’d start one for 2016.

Family Weekend date is set: https://www.universityparent.com/university-of-alabama/articles/dates-events/save-the-date-for-family-weekend-2015/
More info here (coming soon): https://parents.sa.ua.edu/programs/family-weekend/

Thank you!!

For those of you who have been to this before, how is the hotel situation? Very crowded or doable?

Yes, thank you!

apollo322: You will want to make reservations ASAP. Might consider staying in the Birmingham (Hoover/Bessemer) area to save some $.

Thank you! That’s super helpful!

@LostTexan As soon as the dates for popular events are announced, hotels and condo-rentals start booking up quickly. I own 3 VRBO short-term condos near the campus that families rent for campus visits, BamaBound, games, etc. Two of the condos booked immediately once Family Weekend dates were announced. I suspect that the 3rd will book very soon.

Do you have a vacancy for May 30 - June 1? We r coming down for Bama Bound.
