<p>My son was a helper a year or two, but he is not here to ask. I believe the helpers do carry the boxes, etc. up the to the dorm rooms. BUT, you can’t count on a helper being available when you arrive. There are a number of them, but if a bunch of folks arrive simultaneously, you may not be able to get help. Also, later in the day the helper staff dwindles . . . . So, best advice is hope for help, but plan an alternative, just in case.</p>
