Friends whose son is a sophomore at UR told us part of their moving in story from last year. They were waiting in the parking lot and did not want to keep the car engine running. So, each time the car line moved, three of the four in the car took turns (parents, student and a sibling) getting out of the car and pushed. They saved gas, got their exercise, and met a lot of good Samaritans!

It was hot this year (relatively speaking). The line at the parking lot was long but the unloading at the dorm curbside was very efficient. Many creative ways of putting the rooms together but some of them required special bed frames that the students have to request/get from some dept or another. My s and his roommate did not bother.
