<p>Is there any advantage to checking in on Friday vs Saturday or Sunday?</p>
<p>Would like an answer on this as well! :)</p>
<p>My son had a check in time of 9 am on Saturday. He waltzed through the lines and into the dorm. I think they try to control the flow of dorm residents coming in.</p>
<p>I think the earlier the better</p>
<p>If the choice of bed and/or side of the room is important to you, first thing Friday morning. However, traffic, parking, and unloading will be much more difficult because it will be more congested with UT employees on campus.</p>
<p>Sunday morning is the easiest time to move in because there is less traffic, it’s easier to find a parking space near the door where you unload, and it’s is the coolest part of the day for moving in. If you one of the earliest people to move in on Sunday, it is also easier to get an elevator to move your belonging up to your room.</p>
<p>We just moved our daughter in today and it was smooth & easy. We decided to pay the extra fee to move her in early. I would totally recommend moving in early and if she stays in the dorm next year she will move in early as well. I was dreading traffic and disorganization and there was absolutely none of that. It was a pleasant day that ended in tears as I told her goodbye but I knew that would happen!</p>
