QUESTION:
When I move into my residential building on move in day, will there be handcarts or furniture dollys to help me move my belongings into my room? Like for big boxes and what not?
ANSWER:
There will not be carts for move-in. With a little patience...you should be able to get moved into your room in no time. If someone is driving you to campus, and you do have a handcart that you can use during the move...it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring it...but, even without it, you should be just fine. It is also advisable that since so many residents are moving in at the same time, that you try to schedule your arrival for later in the morning or afternoon as most residents make a big push to arrive early which causing the morning hours to be the busiest and most hectic during move-in day.
We’re absolutely excited and looking forward to welcoming you all in the Spring semester!!
