It's really not too bad. My daughter was on the top floor of San Nic, and it went something like this: Upon arrival on campus, we had maybe 15-20 minutes of waiting in the van before we were able to pull up in front of the dorm to begin unloading. Because of the staggered arrival times, there was no problem getting a rolling bin and all her stuff, including a mini fridge, fit into one bin. My son and his girlfriend were along as helpers, the three of them waited in line with the bin while I went and parked the van in a parking structure and shuttled back to the dorm. During this time my daughter was able to register her bike with the police or security folks who were set up on the lawn and lock it up. All in all it was about 30 minutes of waiting in line with the bin before we got into an elevator. There are plenty of volunteers on hand assisting with bins, elevator useage, and answering any questions. When we got to her room her roommate had already moved in and lofted her bed, so she and her parents were able to advise us about that. It was definitely a plus to have an extra person or two along so one person could wait with the unloaded stuff while another gets a bin and the third parks the car, but it could be done with two people as well. Lofting the bed was the hardest part, and unlofting it at move-out time was even worse

. Good luck and enjoy!
