I do not know if you can move in a day later…I don’t see why not, but it will be even crazier as most upperclassmen move in on Saturday. There are also nice events planned for the freshman for that Friday night. The beds are awful…in all 3 dorms my daughter has lived in…definitely need a mattress topper! Power strips are a must…not enough outlets. I generally followed the list put out by Bed, Bath & Beyond. Never used the lamp I bought. The umbrella was useless, as it is VERY windy on campus, very often. On move in day Make the bed last…use the bare mattress to pile up your things, then wipe it down with clorox or lysol wipes, and then put on the mattress topper and your sheets. We have found it easiest to pack items on the hanger in a large plastic shopping bag…so just get to the room and hang it right up. Desks in Northwest had shelves, very convenient, the desks in East and Busby did not. The closet in East had a door. The closets in Northwest and Busby did not…so we bought a tension rod and window curtain to make the room look neat. You can view pics and virtual tours on UCONN RES LIFE website. There is also a website that has pics of actual rooms and answers questions about dorms…google uconnthings and or uconnthings.tumblr
