<p>When should I be getting there?
As early as the 16th? Late as the 18th?</p>
<p>I got there the day before move-in day and I was fine.</p>
<p>well, you can't actually move in until move in day, so get to duke itself on the 19th...i got there a couple days early because i was flying and stayed at a hotel for those days.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm coming from California via airplane so we will probably get there late the 17th</p>
<p>When should parents leave do you think then?</p>
<p>There is a schedule for parents and family during move-in. It is optional, of course. I think it continues through mid afternoon the day following move-in, but I'm not positive about that. You should be getting information about that soon.</p>

<p>This will get updated as it gets closer to August, but I think most parents left soon after convocation.</p>
<p>My parents are staying until the 21st. The parent orientation stuff ends on the 20th, but my parents learned from moving my older sister in that it's better to stay an extra day for final trips to target, etc.</p>
