<p>To answer the question–yes, it is entirely possible to move in the day after the official move-in day. Do you know what dorm you’re assigned to? The only ease in moving in on the official day is that certain streets are closed off so parking and unloading is less of a hassle (esp. true for the Quad). However, move in day has its own hassles of vying for carts, lines for guest passes for your parents etc; so the day after move-in day, parking may be an issue but those other things will be easier.</p>
<p>As for whether you should move in a day later, do whatever you feel is right for you and your family. You only move in once in your life as a frosh and its understandable that your dad wants to be there; so it won’t harm you to wait one day. I think the NSO activities are kind of a joke and missing a day, even if its a day of ‘mandatory’ activities is not going to matter. If you really don’t want to miss any of NSO, you can work it out; maybe come a day early and stay at a hotel, attend that days NSO, and then have your parents come the next day with your stuff for move-in. You can certainly work something out.</p>
