remember to schedule time for getting to each class and time for
meals.
Pack and Get Ready to Move In. For those living on a college
campus, be sure you have all your belongings. Only bring the things
prescriptions. If you are living on campus, your college will contact
you to let you know the move-in date. Freshmen are often allowed to
move in a day or two earlier than upperclassmen, to give them time
to adjust to campus. Your college also will likely send you a list of
recommended items to bring, as well as a list of what NOT to bring.
Check this list carefully.
