| I'm a freshman, so I went through all of this relatively recently. I remember getting there at around 7:30 am maybe? (We had stayed over in a hotel and my parents needed to leave asap). We were definitely early, one of the first cars, but they opened the gates to the yard pretty much right when we got there. Getting there early was a good move, it was much less congested. We brought most essentials but then had a quick trip to Target to get things we had forgotten. I also bought a fridge and microwave at home and drove up with them--best idea ever, don't get anything from HSA. The one annoying thing, which just_forget_me alluded to, is that you need to wait for everyone to get there before you start moving in to your room (unless roommates can somehow pick out who gets which room ahead of time--or at least who gets doubles vs. singles). Try to coordinate when you're all arriving so that you don't have to sit around and wait for hours before you can choose bedrooms. |
