<p>My son is an orientation counselor, and we moved him in today. I can't believe how dirty his dorm was. It seems that there was a camp in there this summer, but they moved out on Aug. 13, 10 days ago. For $50k per year, I would expect a clean dorm on day one. </p>
<p>There was dust, dirt, and hair in the halls, common areas, and his room. The bathrooms were a mess, not one rug was vacuumed, and all the waste baskets were overflowing. What a shame.</p>
<p>My S moved in yesterday (activity related) and his room was very clean. But his dorm may not have housed a camp over the summer. </p>
<p>It may just be an administrative slip or a staff scheduling problem. Would your son be comfortable contacting someone about this so it can be addressed? I can’t believe things would be left this way for freshman move-in (should not be left this way for *any *move-in, IMO).</p>
<p>Which dorm was dirty? We had the same experience last year - room was full of dust and dirt and obviously not cleaned. I was hoping it would change for this year.</p>
<p>We also moved our daughter in on Monday. Her suite and bathroom were very clean. She is in Watson and I don’t think it was used for summer programs but I could be wrong. I agree that someone slipped up for whatever reason. Your son should see the RA or someone in residential life about this ASAP if he has not done so already.</p>
<p>Moved our daughter into McKeen today…very smooth process and the dorm itself appeared to be well maintained and was very clean.</p>
<p>DS is living in a frat this year… Lord only knows what it looked like when he moved in, ha ha! (I didn’t see it, he drove himself back to campus.) </p>
<p>But in his previous 2 years his dorm was clean at move-in time.</p>
