<p>My son did not rsvp for a drop off time on the 30th. Are we completely hosed? Can we sneak in with a car anyway? We will be moving him into Hayden.</p>
<p>i didn’t even know we had a reservation system :-/. </p>
<p>i think you can just drive up.</p>
<p>(I haven’t moved in yet either so this is just speculation) The site says if you come at a different time than your reservation (or lack of) they will fit you in at the end of the current timeslot. In reality though I don’t think they’ll tell you “NO YOU CAN’T MOVE IN” if you’re there already.
Also, maybe he can still RSVP?</p>
<p>We tried to rsvp and the website says all reservations are filled. I guess we will just show up and hope for the best. I wonder what time would be best. I am thinking first thing in the morning say 9 am</p>
<p>Yeah, I would definitely suggest just going as early as possible, so they can try and squeeze you in beforehand.</p>
<p>Do you know what time is good to show up at the dorms?</p>
<p>Last year we got there around 8. Already a very long line. Really got hot, but no rain. Often they’ll start checking people in before the official start time if the check-in people are ready.
Looking back, one of two alternatives work well:
- Get in line early with all your stuff, fit everything in the gray rolling thing, make just one trip up the elevator.
- Get in line early with just a few things to get the room, pick a bed, etc. Then move the rest of the stuff in much later in the day, when the lines are shorter. Some kids just came in the evening; cooler, no lines, but they were starting to have orientation stuff. But move-in would have been faster.
Some of it depends on how much stuff you have. Helps to have two adults.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if its as busy for upperclassmen? I know we dont have to register for check in times, but I’m hoping it isn’t too packed or anything.</p>
<p>When d was freshman last year, we just showed up. Nobody checked anything as far as having a move in time.</p>
