<p>My whole family (15+) people are planning to come with me and check out my dorm and stuff... I'm desperately trying to stop them...</p>
<p>No one! Went by myself. (Go to school 3000 miles away from home)</p>
<p>Wow, that’s a lot of family.</p>
<p>My grandma, mother, and little brother all came with me to drop me off, which wasn’t a big deal because my former school was about an hour away. I saw a lot of nuclear families on move-in day (mom, dad, siblings, maybe some grandparents) but not anything beyond that. It was actually a relatively pleasant day. They helped me unpack, we went to lunch, and said goodbye. What really surprised me was that my little brother insisted on coming along. He usually pretends to deny he knows me, but he can be surprisingly sentimental at times. :)</p>
<p>This year there will be no move-in. Hooray commuting! Sadly enough I’m excited about this. I’m really tight with my family and I get to have my kitty. I also had a really hard time making friends at my last school, so my social expectations are pretty low.</p>
<p>well that includes aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc…I would be fine with just my parents, brother, and grandparents…</p>
<p>For me it was my parents and my sister.</p>
<p>Wow, that’s really going to be a hassle. Is your school near your home? Have you tried inviting them to come visit you on different weekends instead of descending all at one time? Also, if I were your roommate, I’d either be intimidated/terrified or amused by such a large entourage. </p>
<p>When I moved in, it was just my parents. I’m an only child.</p>
<p>For me, it was my mom and sister. I’d also be afraid of such a large family coming as it would be quite crowded. It ususally takes forever to unpack but the moving part is usually not that long with the help of dollies and such.</p>
<p>Mom, dad, two younger sisters. </p>
<p>While having more helpers is good to move all that stuff in, it’s not a very big room to begin with… I’d suggest maybe a big lunch together the day before so they don’t feel like they’ll never see you again, and then just go with a handful (or less) family members the day of.</p>
<p>Just my mom and dad, but it was an 8 hour drive away.</p>
<p>mom dad and maybe my older bro. my grandma and my aunt are visiting on labor day.</p>
<p>My mom. I’d already been going to boarding school for two years so moving me into college really wasn’t a big deal. My dad would have come, too, but there wasn’t room in the car for him lol.</p>
<p>You really, really don’t want 15+ people on move-in day…what are you going to do with them all? 15+ people aren’t going to be able to all crowd into your dorm room. Try to see if just your parents and brother can come with you on the actual day.</p>
<p>When my brother went away, was him, me, and parents.</p>
<p>When I move next month, it’ll just be my parents.</p>
<p>Are you the first in your whole family going to school, or something? Perhaps they’re all just extremely proud. But I definitely understand, I think it would cause more trouble than it is worth.</p>
<p>I would be so unhappy with that much family.</p>
<p>My parents came. Unpacked me and my junk and we parted.</p>
<p>Beginning of freshman year, my mom helped me move my stuff into my room. Ever since, I’ve moved in and out of the dorms/apartments either completely by myself or with help from a friend or two.</p>
<p>Maybe you could get the rest of your family to visit some other time? My extended family all visited during the summer to see the school though they didn’t see my room. Only my mom came with me on move-in day as my dad was working and after we unloaded all my stuff and made a quick trip to K-Mart she left but they only live 45 minutes away from my school so it wasn’t a big deal. Most people I saw only had a few family members at most.</p>
<p>Just my mom and dad to help me move in the boxes and stuff</p>
<p>I’m going by myself which is exactly what I wanted.</p>
<p>Just my parents</p>
<p>my mom only is coming with me, we live in europe btw…</p>
<p>As of now, just my parents. My older sister wants to come, but I’m trying to stop her.</p>
<p>Fifteen people sounds like a lot. I’ve helped my sister move if for the past 2 years, and I never saw more than a carload of people per student. Is your roommate moving in the same day as you? Because that would be pretty crowded if your room was filled with 15+ members of your family, and then his family in addition. </p>
<p>Just tell your family that you sincerely appreciate that they want to see you off to college, but it’s just not practical to have them all there at once. How about you have a family BBQ the day before move in day instead?</p>
