Did she have a parking permit? My son does not. We were told we pick up keys in one lot, drive to Douthit to unload car. Drive back to C1or 2 lot, then shuttle back up to Douthit to put his stuff away in his room. We did get an 8:00 slot- so I am hopeful. But have just read nightmare stories!! You give me hope:)

No permit, they let us leave the car for a bit, we got a lot done and then headed out to shop a bit. Weâve had 5 kids weâve moved into dorms freshman year, it was definitely the easiest. Weâve waited on hour long car lines before, and then dealt with chaos and no a/c.
Oh! They let you leave car in the Douthit lot while you brought stuff up to her room and unpacked a bit? This is great to hear!! My stress level is lowering:)

Not sure youâll see this. S25 is deciding whether to use the Clemson or Common app on August 1. Not sure if youâll still remember but what went into the Clemson app? Do you have to report grades on the app or is that all through the SRAR? Is it just basic background? Any info you can provide is appreciated!
It gives you the opportunity to provide more information that the Common App. Itâs better to use Clemsonâs.
