Tip:Take in your fan first, while you are unloading and loading things in your room it will get hot. It also decreases one less thing to complain about.

Tip:Put supplies that you need of one category in a box and label it. It saves time as you are unpacking and already know which area of the room it goes in.

Tip:After unloading your things and getting settled in...go mingle! Find new friends with your roommate, see if you are in any classes together you never know if they would like to catch lunch someday!

Tip:Go find your classes and explore campus!

Now that you are in your new home, have fun and happy move in day!
