I concur with Maya54. As a freshman, D took as many of her belongings as she could on the airplane by herself at first. Upon arrival, she was able to store the suitcases not needed for training camp in the team room. She had inquired about that possibility from an older teammate first. Her team stayed in temporary rooms before and after their off-site camp. For the trip off campus, they were each given a small travel carry-on that they could fill with the essentials. Everything else they had brought needed to be left behind at school.

After training ended, we flew out with more of her stuff for official freshmen athlete move-in day. We drove her to Bed Bath & Beyond to pick up the larger items we had ordered in advance from our local store and helped her set up her permanent room. In future years, she stored a lot of her belongings in a facility near campus and just came back to school with whatever clothes and athletic gear she had needed during the summer and wanted to bring back for the academic year.
