<p>I know, I know!! I am trying to make doctor and dental appointments during the winter break. It looks like the students are out from Dec. 17th until the start date of Jan. 12th.</p>
<p>Does anyone know approximately when the students can report to their dorms for spring semester? </p>
<p>Another question: Can the students have their dental cleanings at UA? May be that will be my solution.</p>
<p>I usually schedule our kids’ dental cleanings for the first week in January and then again in July. </p>
<p>You could have dental cleanings in T-town, but I don’t think on Bama’s campus. The dental school is in B’ham.</p>
<p>I don’t know when the dorms will re-open…but probably 1-3 days before the first day of spring semester.</p>
<p>I know that kids who are “new” students will be there a couple of days early for their orientation and such. So, the dorms would be open at that point. </p>
<p>I like the new start dates of Jan 12…that means Bama is expecting more BCS National Championships!!! :)</p>
<p>Thank you. The dentist fit her in on Jan. 9th. I didn’t know if the students were expected on campus by then. I will try for an earlier date.</p>
<p>It would be great if the football team made it to #1. What are their chances? Is there a website where I can keep up with Bama football news?</p>
<p>Alabama is one of the preseason favorites to won it all as their recruiting classes have been stellar. I expect them to be ranked in the top 5, which shows tremendous respect as they will have a new and inexperienced QB at the helm. Rolltide.com is a great resource.</p>
<p>Thank you MABama. I will start reading Rolltide.com. We have followed Bama football for 2 years now, ever since my D became interested in Bama. Roll Tide!! and can’t wait for move-in.</p>
<p>Classes begin on Wednesday Jan 11th. The BCS National Championship game will be Monday Jan 9th in New Orleans. This will give the kids that go, a day to get back from the game before classes. </p>
<p>I’d imagine the dorms will be open on Sunday Jan 8th. With most kids moving back in either that day or on Monday the 9th.</p>
<p>If you’re not planning on going to the game then you’ll definitely want to be on campus to watch it as it will be a huge party atmosphere.</p>
<p>This of course implies Bama will be in the game, which isn’t a definite except in my mind :-)</p>
<p>tidesports.com is the sports section of the Tuscaloosa News. Great free website to read up on the football team and other Bama sports. Cecil Hurt is a long time writer and the best in the business when it comes to covering UA sports.</p>
