If your scholarship covers housing, be aware that if you choose a room beyond the cost of that scholarship you are of course responsible for paying the difference. Each year my D has picked a room that cost a bit more than her scholarship covers, so we are billed the difference.

Also, screen shot your room assignment, print it, and have it on hand at move in. You want to be able to show that YOU know where you are placed, in case there is any mix up.

Our Freshman move in went well. I was overwhelmed as I had had no real exposure to an urban campus. But that was just physical logistics. People were helpful and we got a chance to chat with the University’s president, who was walking about, meeting and greeting.

Finally: If you are living in College Hall North, remember that you need items for your personal bathroom (shower curtain, trash can, plunger and cleaning items, toilet paper, etc.)…at least that was the case the initial year it opened. You have a private bath, not a communal hallway one.
