<p>I feel like I paid attention at orientation, but I feel so lost about move-in. How does it work and what exactly do you do? Are parents supposed to be there? I know classes don't start for a few days, so what do you do during that time before classes start (mingling, yes, but for the entire day)?</p>
<p>Any help is much thanked.</p>
<p>You can go to the Housing site and see the instructions for move-in. Your housing assignement will determine which day you move-in.</p>
<p>Also a booklet called “Maize Blue You…welcome to Michigan guide 2012” was recently mailed. It outlines move-in and all the activities planned for following days after move-in.</p>
<p>There is a new student convocation being held on 8/30, parents are welcome to attend. But other than that I didnt see anything that parents need to do other than help move-in.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p>
<p>Parents are definitely supposed to help you move in, but after you’re all settled, usually you have dinner that night and say good-bye. The date is online on a big calendar thing and depends on your dorm/hall. Before classes start you just get to meet people and have fun (I LOVED welcome week).</p>
<p>Step 1. Place belongings in dorm room.
Step 2. Start day/night drinking depending on when you arrive.
Step 3. Sleep when necessary.
Step 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until Tuesday.</p>
<p>Enjoy Welcome Week!</p>
<p>Ahh so I was supposed to get a booklet in the mail. I haven’t gotten that, so I might ask for another one. that should definitely clear a bunch of things up.</p>
<p>any other tips from folks? things you wished you knew before moving in? THANKS!!</p>
<p>We got the booklet at the end of last week. It’s about welcome week activities. </p>
<p>Relax. You will get a bunch of information about roommates and moving in your dorm and everything after August 1st!</p>
<p>I did not recieve a booklet either. I believe there are a few scheduled events during welcome week but most of the time between move in and class starting is unscheduled free time.</p>
<p>There were a couple of things each day that were optional, but not structured all day long events like at orientation. </p>
<p>Seems like if you go to these events, you will get t-shirts. And pizza. ;)</p>
