Depending upon your student, you have been back to school shopping weekly since high school graduation or frantically followed your student around the house while they casually collected their belongings the night before Move-In Day.

In my case, having been through this with both my daughter and then my son, I got a taste of both approaches. My daughter discussed color schemes and pored over catalogs before picking out her bedding.

She then proceeded to return the bedding and start the process all over again. You may have doubted whether or not you could fit all the dorm paraphernalia into one car or fretted about whether your child would have sufficient clothes and bedding to keep warm come November. I have experienced both ends of that particular spectrum.

My first Move-In tip is to remember that student movers and in some of the high rise residence halls professional movers will unpack your car and take everything in bins directly up to the room. Please note you only get help unpacking one car. However long, detailed, organized or disorganized your home preparation and packing process may be, your on-campus experience will have some commonalities.

You may miss a sign we did and get only a little lost on your way to the correct Move-In line. Once in line and it may initially appear dauntingly long you will be amazed at how quickly it moves and how organized the process is.

These are color coded and may provide a distraction for nervous students. They will pass the time checking out the other cars and their inhabitants heading to the same building. As you move forward, you will start hearing applause and welcome cries. Like us on Facebook to see similar stories. I'm already a fan, don't show this again. Send MSN Feedback. How can we improve?
