Move in day is a crazy and hectic day full of emotions and stress. But don't panic. We will help you get through it. Most of you will be feeling anxious to start college and scared to be moving away from home. These are normal feelings. All incoming freshman are feeling the same exact way that you are.
Tip #1: Get to your dorm as early as possible. Unpacking is the first thing you will want to do, and it will take you a long time. The earlier you get to your dorm, the more time you can take on unpacking your things. Remember, you may not get everything unpacked on your first day. It may take you weeks to fully unpack everything and settle in. There are many different activities to participate in during your first weekend, so don't concentrate too hard on unpacking.
Tip #2: Participate in whatever activities are planned for your first weekend! At CSU, the first three days are filled with games, food, speakers, etc. We encourage all incoming freshman to participate in these activites. Sure, they seem pretty lame. However, these activities force you to interact with other incoming freshman. They also force you to interact with your floor. The people you meet during your first weekend may not become your best friends, but they may be the people you hang out with for the first week or two.
The first weekend can be pretty scary for incoming freshman. You are scared and excited to start your own life away from your parents and living on your own. Don't forget to take a moment or two to breathe and relax during your first weekend.
Best regards,
The College Crew
