<p>My son was a move-in assistant twice. He did it simply to avoid the hassle of move-in day. It made move-in really easy for us. You avoid competing with hundreds or thousands of people for parking, the elevator, carts, etc… Also you can kind of get the lay of the land before things get crazy when every one moves in. If you really want to go to Bruin Bash you can just schedule your shifts around it. My son really wanted to go to the football game, so he scheduled around that.</p>
