For those who are admitted and know you are attending, I’d suggest booking a hotel for move-in weekend. Those go fast.
congratulations to all those accepted!!!
Echoing @suzy100 - don’t be afraid to stay in Mishawaka or other nearby towns. I stay at Hilton’s a lot. They have 6 or so hotels in the area. Marriott has a few less, but that is an option too.
Agree on Mishawaka. Until we visited ND for the first time, we had no idea of all of the options there - which are really close to campus AND near the stores that you will be buying things for the dorm room. If you have a car, it doesn’t really matter whether you are 2 miles or 6 miles from campus. But get that reservation!
