Tips

  • Check the dates your hall actually reopens; arriving a day early can leave you locked out.
  • Pack a first-night bag with bedding, toiletries and chargers on top of the load.
  • Ask whether the bookstore and key offices keep short hours in the first week.

Questions

When is spring move-in?

It varies by school, usually in early to mid January. See the spring move-in dates page for the dates we have checked, then confirm with your housing office.

Every school is different. Open your school's guide from move-in dates or all universities, and confirm details with your housing office. How we verify.
