Minky, I am another parent of a 2012-er and I moved my son in to his dorm room yesterday, because he had to be on campus early due to one of his activities.

I have to say it was delightful doing this possibly stressful process at a quiet time. We were able to park directly in front of his dorm. The dorm custodian dropped by, introduced himself, and asked if he could help with anything. He offered to assist in lofting his bed if son wished.

Anyhow, my reaction is that **if it is reasonable **for your family to be on campus at 7 a.m., do so and hopefully avoid the later crowds. We parked our car by son’s dorm and then we walked from there to get him signed in. You will probably be headed to the Farinon Student Center first for the student ID photo and then key card. (I am not sure about this as my son’s instructions were to first check in with his group, but photo and key card at Farinon were what he did next.)

Perhaps your son wants to not feel rushed later in the morning.

Best wishes to your son at Lafayette!
