<p>Does anyone have any strategies to getting a bottom bunk. The parking pass says not to get there before noon. Is there going to be a line? Should we try and get there be earlier to be first in line at noon?</p>
<p>When I moved in two years ago, my parents dropped me off before my scheduled time. I was able to check in before my time (they didn’t arrange move-in stuff/keys according to move-in times), throw some stuff on the bottom bunk to claim it, and then I left until we were allowed to park in the parking lot. It should hopefully work unless they changed something.</p>
<p>How about discussing it with your room mate instead of being shady about it?
You could switch when school starts in Jan if both of you want the bottom bunk.</p>
<p>It’s not so much being “shady”…bunk bed rooms are always a “first come, first serve” basis. Whoever gets to the room first should have the right to claim whichever bed he or she wants. However you go about getting the bed you want (arriving before your check-in time, etc.) is all fair game.</p>
