<p>When can we sign up to do this for the fall?</p>
<p>your RD will email you sometime over the summer.</p>
<p>ok cool, cuz that's something i want to do</p>
<p>Thinking of the summer already? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>you mean you're already planning to move back 4 days early? yeah you wont even get an email till august from your RD or residence hall president.</p>
<p>What're the perks of being a move-in assistant?</p>
<p>Pros
1. Moving in early
2. MIA t-shirt</p>
<p>Cons
1. Moving in early - you're hall is going to be empty.</p>
<p>^ I would call that last one a pro - avoid the rush, so you're moved in when everyone else is rushing around</p>
<p>Yeah, that's what I thought about last year.
But then my roommate felt so alone and scared in our plaza and there was barely anybody in the bldg.</p>
<p>So it's a pro and con. Depending on how you look at it and if you prefer company.</p>
<p>psh. big pro. i move in one week before school each year cuz of marching band... it is SOOO nice to avoid all the congestion and take my time moving in.</p>
<p>last year i got to pick what i wanted in my triple. this year, it was nice to not have to wait in line to move my stuff up 7 floors in the elevator...</p>
<p>How busy are you as a move-in assistant? I'm actually hoping there will be a lot of stuff for us to do. Also is it really lonely if you move in 4 days early? It seems like there will be many people at school already :)</p>
<p>will we have nights free?</p>
<p>You help decorate the doors, lounge and junk.</p>
<p>you get plenty of time off as an MIA. its 4-6 hours a day, and not nights (except teh first night). its a bit lonely but meet other MIAs plus your RAs and student leaders. plus its like 3 days before everyone moves in so not that long</p>
<p>cool. i want the nights off =]</p>
<p>Thanks namaste. This sounds stalkish, but I read some of your previous posts about getting involved in residential life since day one, and being an RA or at least part of student staff is something I want to do eventually.</p>
<p>whats with this "if you are MIA at sproul you can't move in before 5pm and after 7pm"? thats a pretty tight time window for LA traffic...</p>
<p>De Neve is the same. No move-in before 5.</p>
<p>i'm scheduled to move in at 9pm on the 19th... will it still be crazy at that time?</p>
<p>^ it's always crazy move-in week >.<</p>
<p>prolly a little less so, but still. </p>
<p>tip: if you're there during move-in and not moving in, DO NOT TAKE THE ELEVATOR!!! don't even think about it. just don't. not gonna happen.</p>
