Ew, that was long.

SUMMARY: If you can’t fit everything into a 4-door sedan (or maybe a minivan, if you’re bringing a larger fridge/bike), you’re bringing too much.

Pack TIGHT, pack SMART. Minimize boxes/bags in order to minimize TRIPS. In the Unit high-rises, each building has only ONE very SLOW (and very breakable) elevator to serve eight residential floors. If you’re in a Unit 1/2 minisuite, you’re luckier–there’re two fairly decent elevators. If you’re in Clark Kerr, you’re going to be walking around carrying (or hopefully rolling with the provided bins) a lot of stuff. And lucky you, Stern/Bowles/Foothill residents–you’ll be walking up/down hills AND stairs with a lot of stuff–bins’ll only help until you hit steps. The elevators there won’t be of much use unless you live in a few specific suites.

GOOD LUCK AT MOVE-IN! Kekekekeke. (P.S. Check-in really doesn’t begin until we say it does–10am, so don’t bother camping out at 8am looking to get in early. We’ll just sit and watch you for two hours.)
