Not an athlete but D also went to an early orientation at her school last fall (arriving a little after the athletes). We did what @maya54 described. D went off by herself with two pieces of luggage. I had sent ahead one box with bedding because she was moving into her regular dorm room. DH and I brought the rest of her stuff later during the regular move-in period and helped her set up the big stuff.

This worked out really well. By the time we arrived at move-in, D was settled and could proudly show us around, introduce us to a couple of friends. It was like parents weekend but at move-in. The other bonus was that we could bring things she didn’t realize she needed until she was there a few days.

I was a bit nervous about the flight out. It was her second time flying on her own. No direct flights so I made sure she had a long (2 hours) connection time (“just in case you get lost in the airport…”).
