48 hours before
Recheck your time slot, hall name, room number, student ID requirements, temporary route, unloading pass, and weather. Screenshot the university map in case service is poor.
Pack the first cart
Put ID, keys, medications, water, cleaning wipes, a doorstop, basic bedding, and a change of clothes where they can be unloaded first.
At the curb
Follow staff and temporary signs over ordinary GPS near campus. Keep one person with the vehicle when the school requires it, unload quickly, then relocate the car.
Before buying more
Measure the room, confirm roommate duplicates, and inspect the university-provided furniture. Avoid buying storage or appliances that the hall prohibits or cannot fit.
Use this guide as a planning framework. Always check the current housing page and your assignment instructions before purchasing, packing, parking, or traveling.
