If I remember correctly, 8-11 was the busiest time. If you get there right at the start you can probably still find parking and if you’re the first one in the room you can claim which bed and closet you want (if you haven’t already decided online). There are a whole bunch of students who help with the unpacking. The first thing they do is help move things out of the car and onto the grass so they can free up parking, and then you carry things up to your room. There are usually free lemonade and cookies from the Wesley Foundation and free CFL bulbs and travel mugs from SEAC, the campus environmental group. Also keep in mind that it gets hotter as the day goes on, and the ACs are not built to handle 300 sweaty students and their families all at the same time - that is, if you’re lucky enough to be in a dorm with central air. There are events on Saturday for parents as well, but it is not necessary to attend them.
