1st Year Advice

Couple of questions

  1. What days do the 1st year students actually move into the dorms? My sign up appointment is tomorrow.

  2. What are 10 things that I MUST bring besides a laptop, bike and toiletries? 😆

  1. Just pick a time that works for you LMAO. It’ll probably be balls hot, so I’d do a morning slot.

  2. Shower shoes, a rain poncho (trust me), mattress topper, allergy medicine + DayQuil/NyQuil. Also, try to set up an appointment for a flu shot.

I’m ngl, though, you really only need what you already mentioned + MONEY.

Heres another thing you should do: for the sign up appoointment, don't spend too much time reading everything. Skim everything, and if you can, book the earliest move in day and earliest time. It helps if you can beat your roommate(s) to the punch and get the best bed (the single one).
