Move-In Tips

Follow these easytips to enhance your

Panther Move-InExperience!

BE PATIENT:

With hundreds of students moving into housing over the course

of one days, there may be some waiting times for parking, check-

in, etc. Know this going in and exercise patience when possible.

2. DRESS FOR THE WEATHER:

It’s Virginia in August. That typically means hot temperatures.

3. ABIDE BY YOUR MOVE-IN TIME:

We space times out to avoid a big rush of people at the beginning

of the day. Waiting until your scheduled move-in time is another

way to help alleviate traffic problems and longer wait times.

4.DON'T HOG THE ELEVATOR:

As you may expect, the elevator is in high demand on move-in

day. Elevator courtesy is essential on move-in day. Do not leave

the elevator door blocked at any point and time
