On a good traffic day, yeah... around one and a half hour is about right. Although, I doubt that day will be a good traffic day. So I guess I have to wake up at 6:30 :(

Yeah, traffic will be bad since people are probably taking the day off and driving to the states, cottages, Niagara Falls, etc...

Ok, I have some fragile stuff that I would prefer bringing up to my room myself. Is that possible?
If I have multiple people coming, can someone move stuff up with the reps?

Yes that is possible. Just carry it with you in the car/van so that the reps don't take it from the trunk. You can also have your parents or anyone else in the car carry it for you.
For your second question, I'm sure then can. But they'll be waiting at your door for a while since you have to go pick up your keys,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Where do we go pick up our keys? |

Not sure for West Quad but I think it's Keyes.
For North Quad it's Commons.

My basement window is your typical basement window. :( Very very tiny. It's probably about a foot and a half wide. There is NO solution to this, except for one of the girls on the first floors switching with me. But I doubt anyone would be up for that. ._.

You could just go without the box-spring mattress...

This is the first time in my life that I've had a bed that was bigger than a twin.
I wanted the full experience. :(
I'm...not one to clean either. Wouldn't leaving a mattress on the floor prompt bed bugs or whatever? D: -shudder-

You'll have to find a bed frame... There are minimal metal ones whose only purpose is to lift your mattress off the floor. Not sure how much they cost but I would assume they are cheap...

I have a bed frame. It cost me 80 bucks. But the problem is, is that there's a bar right down the middle. Two problems with this (I tested it out):
1) It's super uncomfortable
2) I fall through.
D:< Lmao.
Wait, so was that a yes to my question? (the bug thing)

You can go to Ikea and get a bed frame. They have the ones where you dont need a box spring. Thats what im using.

Well, theoretically it would be easier for the bed bugs to get onto your bed, but unless there are bed bugs in your house it won't be a problem. Plus, if there are bed bugs in your house they would be on your clothes as well and would end up on your bed anyways.
Hmmm, I wonder how much plywood costs... but that would solve the problem.
