Thoughts on moving in early

The logistics of having all those people and the extra vehicles on campus unloading near the dorms would be horrible. First year students aren’t even allowed to have cars on campus, partially due to parking. The RAs need to check people in and be available to solve housing problems. Sometime the non-first year dorms are still being refreshed on a predetermined time schedule and aren’t available yet.

At DS’s school, the first year students who live far away could chose the last orientation, move in and then participate in off-campus welcome type events. DS went camping for three days then did class registration back on campus. Other people moved in while he was on the three day event.
