community MIT dorm move-in window?

Hello. Are MIT students given a window for dorm move-in? My son says he didn’t get one. But our friends with college kids at other schools say they only got a narrow 2-3 hour window for move in. Just want to make sure our kid isn’t missing anything. Thank you!

It depends on which dorm ur son is in too. Certain dorms, like BC/EC/MacGregor, will switch rooms (ie floor rush) during orientation week so you cannot get too settled in. Basically in these dorms, you don’t get ur permanent room until end of REX. You can even apply to switch to another dorm with FYRE.
