What To Expect On Move-In Day
Move-in day is filled with anticipation and excitement, being prepared for what to expect will help you to have a better move in day.
Families should expect move-in day to be exciting, as well as emotional. To get through it, students and family members need to stay open to the unexpected and be in the moment as much as possible.
7 Tips that can make for a smoother move in experience:
- Know what is provided in the residence hall room and what you’ll need to bring. Check our Furnishing Your Room page for details. Keep in mind that certain items may not be allowed, including candles, space heaters, bed lifts, extension cords and toaster ovens.
- Move-in is by appointment, you will receive instructions from the Campus Housing Staff. We will direct you to the proper locations for check in, unloading your vehicle and parking. Please be patient as there may be short wait times as others unload belongings.
- Bring miscellaneous supplies. You might need bottled water, snacks, scissors, thumbtacks, clothes hangers, pocket change for snack machines, a flashlight and basic cleaning materials, including window washing solution and a small whisk broom.
- Consider the weather, and dress accordingly. You can get overheated traveling up and down a stairwell in late summer. Likewise, be prepared for wet or windy weather.
- Inspect the room before you unpack and note any damages already present on the room condition report. Our staff checks all rooms prior to move in, but if you notice any issues such as no AC, or trouble with locking the room door please report it to a Campus Housing staff member right away.
- Have fun. Try to stay relaxed and keep your schedule flexible. Aim for positive memories. After all, the day is a milestone and a new beginning for both students and families.
