My sister will be a junior this year at main campus, and I am her little sister (future psu student 2009…hopefully!) so I’m pretty familiar with the whole process. Basically, move in day is little chaotic, but a good experience. You should expect quite a bit of traffic, so an earlier start might be the best way to go (there’s probably no way of avoiding it though!). She actually stayed in West dorms, right by the IST building, because that’s her major. We pulled in into the road beside the dorm (there will be students there giving out information), and you are permitted 15 minutes to park there and unload everything. I got the wonderful job of guarding the pile of stuff while my mom found a place to park, and my sister retrieved her keys. They have carts to roll in your items (we lost one of our bags, but the mentors eventually found it). This is pretty much the move-in-day process. It can be pretty eventful…

Items to Bring: My sister and mom went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to buy everything for her room…
-bed risers (i would def. get these!..u can store stuff under the bed easily)
-comforter (bed in a bag)
-matress pad
-plastic bins (store food, etc.)
-garbage can
-power-strip for computer (there is a certain process you go through in order to get the wireless internet…but I’m not familiar with it so that might be a question to ask unless you’re computer savvy…I’m not)
-fan! (west dorms tend to be warm even in the winter…I’m not sure about the others…but it will be warm)

well, I can’t think of anything else…hope i was able to help! Good Luck.!!
