You can take everything out of the car in front of the building and then your parents can go park in the parking lot.

parents and move in day
My move in day is Sat from 12 - 4. Once my parents help me unpack and at some point do a quick run to the store for incidentals will there be much opportunity for them to see me? Are we kept pretty busy both Sat night and Sunday? They're not sure how many nights to book a hotel for. Also, for the students who are already moved in on Saturday, are we kept busy while others move in on Sunday?

also as a side not REMEMBER to label all your "big box stuff". such as fridge, suit cases, etc. as the welcome week reps will be taking those things right out of your car for you and putting the in your room  |

Parents usually stay for 1-2 hours after move-in to help their kids settle in. But after that it's best for the kids to start socializing with their residence. There will be residence activities starting the day you move in.

You can pull your car in near the building. There will be TONS of volunteers there to show you where to go; you won't have any trouble.
Mind you, when you get out of the car you may/will be accosted by several members of your faculty and/or a Shinerama person.

Moving day is going to be nuts. I suggest you pack lots of snacks and cool drinks, arrive early, and dont plan anything for the rest of the day.
Ill be covering my moving say (im a new grad) by blogging on my mcmaster/grad life blog @ www.insideminds.tk

I think I had 7-8 boxes, and then some other bags. They ask that you bring up valuables (ie laptop) yourself, but if you have a ton of other stuff you might as well get the reps to move your stuff up for you  Don't worry about bringing too much, I'm pretty sure someone will have more than you. |

If you have to make more than 1 trip to bring everything over then you have too much stuff.

sometimes less is more
also less stuff = more space in your room |

Essentials are like 1 week of clothes, bedding, pillows, blanket, body soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, school supplies, laundry detergent. Laptops/Computers aren't essential, but almost everyone would say it's important.
Almost everyone brings snacks, drinks, printer (again not essential because they do exist on campus), more than 1 week of clothes.
Some people bring in monitors, food.

As long as it's before or on the 8th, otherwise you need to fill out a form from the Housing website.
