What are some things I can do to make move-in a bit easier?
While students initially are anxious about residing with two roommates vs. one, we find that many residents assigned to triples choose to remain in their original tripled assignment rather than leave their roommates and move to a double room assignment when offered. Contact both of your roommates to discuss what everyone plans to bring. Discuss in advance which bed everyone will take in the room. This prevents the “first come, first served” mentality and helps to ease the stress of move-in. After arrival, all students are required to complete a Roommate Contract with the assistance of their RA. This document will help you to discuss such issues as guests, study and sleep ours, sharing items in the room, etc.
