Move-In Tips

Before Move-In Day

Choose Your Housing
Apply to a Pre-Orientation Program
You’ll meet new people!
You move in early
You meet upperclassmen
Order to Amazon-Hub/some external address rather than to your school address
You need bags to pack things in. I recommend the

Move-In Day

Purchase a Swiffer and Clorox wipes — so you can thoroughly clean down your room before moving everything in.
Take advantage of the support desk
Figure out the best route to your room before bringing your cart

👯‍♀️ Moving in with Roommates

If you chose your roommate, make sure to FaceTime them before you move in!! I can’t believe the amount of people who chose someone based of their Instagram and then when it came to meeting in real life, they were much different than they appeared.
Talk about what appliances each of you will be bringing (ie: mini fridge, lamps, etc.)
Try to avoid moving in on the same day/time slot –– a small dorm can get crowded very quickly!!

Want to print your doc?
This is not the way.
Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (
CtrlP
) instead.
