[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We are flying a few days early. Planning to spend time in the city and shop before heading out to the more rural college location. It helps if you have a good idea of what the room will look like. We've been searching for photos and videos since dorm assignments came out.[/quote]

Didn't their school have an orientation? Many colleges now have orientation well before move-in day so your DC can register for classes,etc. It's a good chance to see the rooms, take measurements, and meet roommates in advance.[/quote]

NP here - sometimes this works, but sometimes it doesn't.  Kid #1 - she had her dorm assignment, but her dorm was locked up for the summer, so she couldn't see the inside while we were there for orientation.  Kid #2 actually stayed in his assigned building (not the exact room) during orientation, so he was better prepared for exactly what to expect.  As for meeting roommates, well, that only works if they happened to attend the same orientation.  We went 1 for 2 on that front as well.[/quote]
