Moving To The University
Are you prepared to make the move to campus? Don’t have a printed map of the school? Make sure you keep it handy on moving day so you can navigate from your parking spot to your dorm room; however if you would like to avoid the confusion and chaos of moving in with thousands of over students, try packing your stuff at home and having it shipped and delivered to your dorm.
