Parents and college move in?

<p>Just curious about a couple of things as my move in day nears. Im now getting nervous.</p>

<p>Did your parents help you unpack?
How long did they stay?
How many people did you take with you to move in?
What did you do after move in?</p>

<p>THNKXXX</p>

<ul>
<li>Yes they helped unpack</li>
<li>They stayed until we finish unpacking and ate lunch at the dining hall</li>
<li>I took my parents and my brother.</li>
<li>After move-in, we had additional time … then we had a floor meeting and icebreaker games outside. Later in the afternoon, we had an orientation thing in the school football stadium with all of the other freshman.</li>
</ul>

<p>I move in tomorrow and my mom, dad and older brother are all coming to drop me off. They will most likely stay and help me unpack and set my room up and if it isn’t too late after all that, then we’ll probably go out to eat.</p>

<p>My biggest concern right now is how I’m going to fit everything in my dad’s SUV</p>

<p>Did your parents help you unpack?
Yup</p>

<p>How long did they stay?
Just a couple hours, long enough to make sure all my things had been moved in. </p>

<p>How many people did you take with you to move in?
Entire family, plus grandparents. :stuck_out_tongue: It was actually nice having everyone. </p>

<p>What did you do after move in?
Orientation stuff/ more unpacking and organizing.</p>

<p>Did your parents help you unpack?
Yes</p>

<p>How long did they stay?
A few hours, we ate lunch together and then she left.</p>

<p>How many people did you take with you to move in?
Just my mom </p>

<p>What did you do after move in?
Orientation, unpacking/organizing</p>

<p>Did your parents help you unpack?
Yes.</p>

<p>How long did they stay?
A few hours. We moved everything into the room, went out to dinner, came back and unpacked some boxes, and then she left. I guess about six hours in total, but three hours of that were orientation check-in, dinner, and a last-minute Target run.</p>

<p>How many people did you take with you to move in?
Just my mom.</p>

<p>What did you do after move in?
Moped around unpacking for about an hour and then went to sleep. 90% of my dorm, including my roommate, wasn’t assigned to move in until the following day, so there wasn’t really anybody to talk to or hang out with that first night. Plus it was like, 10:30 by the time my mom left (I was assigned a 4:00 move-in time), and I had to get up early the following morning.</p>

<p>Well I flew across the country to go to college so my answers might be a little different.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Yep (well for some of my stuff…I unpacked the rest myself later on)</p></li>
<li><p>My dad helped me move in on the Friday, and then he flew back the next day in the afternoon (so in case something arose the first night he could come in the morning and help…my campus is kinda near the airport)</p></li>
<li><p>Just my dad. College was 2000 miles away so only he could come. Brother had school and mom had to look after brother.</p></li>
<li><p>Well I moved in early (I was supposed to move in on a Saturday but thats the day that my dad was flying back so I moved in on the Friday). Since I was the only one there I basically went and got books, toured the campus myself (found out where all my classes were), and just caught up on sleep (I was so tired after moving in)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks for the replies. I move in at eight in the morning and my school assigned times for move in that range from early in the morning till about 8pm. My mom will leave around eleven am, i just dont want to be the only one alone on campus. I am just taking my mom and older brother because my father is working. I am just worried thats not enough people to help. And anyone have any move in tips, like how to expediate the process or socialize during this hectic time?</p>

<p>I flew across the country and my parents did not come with me. I moved in with relatives, who did not stay very long – they were more a ride up than anything (although I love spending time with them). By that I mean the intent on their coming wasn’t to provide emotional support or anything.</p>

<p>My parents didn’t really help me unpack much, and only stayed long enough to meet my roommate and her family.</p>
