International students: early move-in ?

<p>Hey guys :)</p>

<p>So I'm an international student coming all the way from Europe to Michigan. I'm going to move-in early on the 23rd right before my orientation on the 24th.
Is anyone else moving-in on that day ?
I'm stressed out about stupid things like eating alone in the cafeteria or getting lost or something since most of the freshmen arrive on the 28th xD
Soooo, shout-outs from stressed out international students please ? :D
And is anyone staying in Marey Markley ?</p>

<p>You’ll be fine, since there’s a ton of international students who will be moving in early as well and y’all will be going to orientation. That’s where I met people who I hung out with for the first few weeks of college.</p>

<p>Welcome to Michigan! Go Blue!</p>

<p>I’m moving in on that day as an intl student too, and I’m sure there’re plenty of others from all over the world. We’ll be fine hopefully! :slight_smile: I’m not staying in Markley though but South Quad.</p>

<p>Move In Makers will be moving in on the 24th, so there will be plenty of people to meet.</p>

<p>Yup I’m moving in on the 23rd as well, and yes I’ll be staying in Markley :D</p>

<p>Do international students have to pay additional fees to move-in early on the 23rd Aug? Thanks!</p>

<p>paperstars123 I believe so.
The e-mail I received a few days ago said:
<strong><em>The Office of New Student Programs has already contacted Housing on your
behalf to arrange for Early Move-In so that you may attend the
International Orientation program in its entirety. If you have a Housing
contract, you may move into your permanent room on August 23. The cost for
Early Move in is $78.00 per day for room and board (included two meals per
day) until the beginning date of your contract.</em></strong>
”</p>

<p>I would email the housing people about early move in. Say you need to move in early for international orientation. It seems entirely unfair that they make you pay a fee (and a big one at that) for something that’s required. I don’t remember paying a fee when I moved in early for int. orientation, but then again I was also a move-in maker.</p>

<p>You have to pay for regular orientation so why wouldnt you pay for international orientation? I think it was over $200 added to the bill I just paid - maybe closer to $300…</p>
