<p>I cheated a bit I have to say and drove in maybe…an hour and a half before my designated time (1PM), yet I still waited in like for about 20~30 minutes. I heard those who came around 1PM or later had a looooooooong wait though.
But I agree, the volunteers were great (I still wonder how they keep a smile on their faces through all that work, but I guess you have to be willing to do it if you sign up for it!), everyone was happy, the weather was just right (no rain and not too muggy or hot), and moving in was quick.
It may not seem like that for others, but I went to move in my brother at his university a few years ago. It might have changed since then, but there was zero organization, everyone tried to squeeze into the dorm parking lots, it was a hot, muggy day, and just plain awful.
So yeah, I really love how 'Nova organized the new arrivals.</p>
<p>I’ve been having a great two days and already made some friends. Loving it so far!
…I hope the start of classes doesn’t ruin it.</p>
<p>On a random note, I did not realize how long Lancaster Ave. is. I took a “tour” with a friend during a break period and we walked for a good hour checking out east and west Main Line and we got as far as Staples before we gave up walking (we did enough walking all day so we were pretty tired.)</p>
