With the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year quickly approaching, Campus Recreation is excitedly awaiting the arrival of new and returning students! As the class of 2028 is starting their college journey within these upcoming weeks, here is Campus Rec\u2019s guide to moving in, participating in campus events, and things to look forward to on campus. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nDorm Checklist <\/b><\/p>\n

As a fellow RAM and member of the Campus Recreation Team, we want all incoming students to feel prepared and comfortable for their move-in. Moving into a new school, adjusting to a brand new environment, and living with someone else can seem like a handful at first. However, the process is much easier than you think! Campus staff and orientation leaders will be stationed around campus to welcome and direct new students to their assigned housing and are more than happy to help answer any questions or concerns you may have! You\u2019ll also find move-carts designated to every building for transporting dorm furniture and supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we dive deeper into moving in, let\u2019s focus on the preparation process and must-have dorm supplies you will need! Based on my two years of experience, it is important to pack only the essentials and recommended items. You are limited in space especially since you will be sharing a room with someone else. Here are my top dorm recommendations! <\/span><\/p>\n

    \nMove in Tips<\/b><\/p>\n

    Move in day is filled with excitement, nerves, and the thrill of beginning a new journey.  Meeting your roommate, becoming acquaintances with other students  on your floor, and moving into your dorm can be overwhelming. It is important to keep in mind that as a freshman, our peers are also just beginning on this college venture. <\/span><\/p>\n
