My daughter moved into Centerville Hall yesterday (for the Marching Band’s Early Week).

The room is definitely bigger than 10’ x 12’. More like 12’ x 13’, with more space than I expected after reading the All Dorms thread.

Since we only live 20 minutes away, she packed very light figuring we can ferry in whatever she forgot. It was very easy since there wasn’t much competition for the carts or the elevators. Everything was moved and unpacked in about 45 minutes.

They gave her a form for reporting any damaged or missing items, which she immediately filled out and turned in (is this really my DD or has her body been taken over by a non-procrastinating alien?).

We plan to conduct the first relief mission tonight, consisting of a waste basket, the TV remote, sodas, her brand new checkbook, and a power strip.
