<p>The contract says the start date is September 24. The website says on campus move-in date begins September 22.</p>

<p>Does this mean I can I move in on September 22 but the first meal isn't served until the 24th? I need to know because I am OOS and need to make airline and hotel reservations.</p>
<p>Yup. That's correct.</p>
<p>grandpabruin1937: I spoke to Housing this morning and he told me the move in dates are 9/22, 9/23 and 9/24.</p>
<p>why do you need hotel reservations if you're moving in?</p>
<p>food is easy enough to come by off campus...</p>
<p>the hotel room is for my parents who are helping me move in.</p>
<p>when should we move in? the earliest time, or the latest? haha</p>
<p>I believe you are assigned a certain time and date to move in... its not a free for all lol</p>
<p>Technically you CAN move-in on whichever day you want to. Trust me, they aren't going to turn you away for coming a day earlier as long as you show up during the move-in period. And if you're still worried about it, you can request to change your move-in day online with housing after you are assigned to a day.</p>
