Planning ahead--graduation and move-out

I can’t believe I’m already starting to think about this (seems like we were just doing college tours yesterday), but it occurred to me that it’s not too soon to be making hotel reservations for graduation. That got me wondering about the process. D has always stored her stuff over the summer, so we’ve never done the whole move-out thing. I don’t know if anyone looking at this forum has had a kid graduate from AU, but I’d love to know about the timing. Do they have to move out as soon as the ceremony is over? (It would be nice to go out to celebrate and not have to worry about packing up the car until the next day.) Is there some organization and assistance for senior move-out like there is for freshman move-in? (D lives in Nebraska.) Are there any other related activities that we would be attending besides the actual graduation? (And how many tissues will I need when that kid who struggled with ADHD, a learning disability and depression is handed that diploma, on time, and with honors??? So proud of her!)
