<p>I am booking my flight tickets now (because the prices are cheap) and I'm wondering if it's worth it to arrive early and set everything up a day beforehand, i.e. August 21st.</p>
<p>The obvious advantage is that you beat the rush and there's significantly less traffic, so you can get ready. I've been to camps where my roommate took all the best desks/beds/pillows etc. and I hated it, so that wouldn't be my intention. What are the cons?</p>
<p>Thoughts? Move-in a day early, or move-in the day of?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the earliest you can move in is the move in day (Aug 22-Wed)....if you're trying to beat traffic move in a day later (or even Friday) but it will still be busy (last minute trips to Target etc.)
I say move in Wed that way you have plenty of time to get settled in, meet other students, enjoy welcome week activities.</p>
<p>Beds/desks and dressers are all identical...the only problem is if you like a certain side of the room but really there's no difference.</p>
