Alison Sweeney Will Miss Her College-Bound Son — and His Car: 'We Had a Built-In Uber Driver!' (Exclusive)


Alison Sweeney is preparing to send her son off to Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and she tells PEOPLE that the transition brings some new “logistics” for the family.

Sweeney’s son, Ben, 19, is headed to Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he plans to study mechanical engineering, and his 15-year-old sister, Megan, was perhaps the first family member to miss him — before he’d even officially left. She continues: “They tell you in a parenting magazine like, ‘Oh, you should have the following kit of stuff ready for the diaper bag,’ but really [you need] like 15 other tiny little things that you wouldn't think to buy. Though Sweeney and her husband still have to work out the “logistics” of Megan’s school transportation, the couple is finding comfort in knowing their son is ready for his next chapter.
