I’ve been given my housing assignment and mailing address, and I’m wondering if I could already begin shipping things by mail to my college? Their website doesn’t mention any dates about when I could start doing that.
Definitely too early! You need to email your school’s housing department and ask. They are the only ones who can give you the answer.
Contact the Office of Residential Life at your college to discuss how and when to ship things.
I highly doubt any school would allow stuff to be shipped this early. At my son’s school we can ship a week before move in.
It’s still June. Colleges need the next 6 or 7 weeks to clean out those dorms, to prepare them for next year. Please don’t burden them with your stuff at this point so early in the summer.
Please look up or call for rules specific to your school. Also ask once you ship it where will you pick it up from and is there any help if it is big/heavy/bulky. I know at my daughter’s school you can only ship to a central mail room not to the building directly.
