<p>To current students,
If I live off-campus, do I get a mail box in my residential college? Or are they strictly for on-campus residents? And can I order large items (laptop, for example) to that box (if I'm entitled to one)?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The exact system varies a little by each residential college, but every student should get a mailbox at their college. You can have large items delivered, usually the college coordinator (who’s responsible for mail) will put a note in your mailbox and keep the box in her office for you to pick up. I would be cautious about having things delivered before you arrive for oweek though, some of the coordinators don’t like that.</p>
<p>When my son lived off campus, he had all important things shipped to his college address. He always let the college coordinator know that something was coming – to make sure someone was there in case a signature was needed.
If you need to have something shipped during O-week, now is a good time to make friends with your college coordinator. Better to start off on the right foot.</p>
<p>The nice thing about your college address is that it doesn’t change, even if you move off campus. It’ll be the same all four years. :)</p>
