Consider this. BDD happens during the last week of regular classes. Most students are focused on their last requirements of their current obligations, Spring Fling, and end-of-term.
If you visit during move-in week, I expect that everyone’s perspective will be fresh and new.
I had the chance to visit my son twice in the last four weeks, and I could sense that he was exhausted.
Happy, proud, productive, amazing, but exhausted.
