Moving in tomorrow
I'm moving in tomorrow and I'm like SOOOO terrified!:( I haven't even been able to get in touch with my roommate, is anyone else in the same boat? Also, how much are people bringing? I've got like 2 huge boxes, my fridge, my bedding, my pillows, and all my clothes in a suitcase... I hope people don't think I'm a freak. The timing for my move-in is 9-12, though realistically what time should I reach by? How long will my parents be allowed to stay?

You can be there at any time. The earlier you get there the more time you will have to settle down because residence activities start and the more time you'll have to walk around your residence meeting people.

Your parents can stay as long as they want, but really they should only be there to help you unpack and say their goodbyes (and since you are moving in before lunch they could take you to lunch before leaving).

i actually haven't started packin yet lol
but im moving in on sunday so i still have time !
but im probably gonna only have 1 suitcase full of clothes and then my mom went to ups and got cardboard boxes which I'm probably gonna fill like 4 (they're small) with all the random stuff like hangers and a printer and bedding etc. and thats about it..honestly some of my friends are packing a ridiculous amount of stuff so i guess theres no 'normal' amount of boxes hahaha.

I have a lot of stuff... lol
but since I'm in Les Prince I had to bring stuff for my bathroom (cleaning supplies, towels, etc)
is there a limit to how much the reps will bring up for you?

ps I promise I'm not high maintenance, just not very good at packing

I feel like I didn't pack enough now.
I only have one big suitcase, my laptop bag, school bag and bedding. Then again I'm coming home a couple of times so I can come back and bring more if necessary.

Don't worry, last year I felt the same way, and the reps didn't seem to mind...one of them joked that one of my boxes was super heavy, but that was about it.

Yes, I've got my student ID card but how do I access my meal plan accounts? I'm really confused... I don't know how I'm supposed to set it up/activate it/or whatever.
