<p>I know this has been visited before, but the thread about linens nudged me to refresh this discussion.</p>

<p>Supposedly, one can rent linens at Bama Bound, rather than bring your own.</p>

<p>Do we do this beforehand, or just show up and ask for linens, and there are plenty on hand?</p>

<p>I know lots of people are flying in to Bama Bound and would welcome not having to drag pillows, sheets, and towels along.</p>

<p>And just to be clear, what do they provide, pillows, towels, and sheets, or just bed linens, and you need to bring your own towels?</p>

<p>Thanks for the refresher. I know those overnight bama bound sessions are coming up and newcomers to the forum would probably want to get a heads up on this.</p>

<p>IIRC and from the posts here, just show up at Bama Bound and request to rent bedding. I don’t know about towels, but they do provide a pillow, sheets, and probably a blanket. Note that you will need to bring soap and shampoo, as they are not provided (toilet paper is provided).</p>

<p>Welcome students (and parents) in advance to the beginning of your first year at UA. Roll Tide!</p>

<p>We did get towels last year for Bama Bound, along with a pillow, blanket and sheets.</p>

<p>If you want to be sure that policies won’t have changed and include pillows and towels, call Bama Bound/Orientation to be sure. (800) 933-BAMA</p>

<p>We recommend you dress casually and comfortably. In the winter, bring a jacket and dress in layers to accommodate for fluctuations in the weather and central heating.</p>
