I learn so much from the Americans! 🙂 They are so creative 🙂 During Moving In day, they set up a sale for second hand furniture donated by students who do not keep their dorm room furniture or things and we saw the line of students who were waiting to avail of this opportunity since it is definitely cheaper and if you are lucky you might get something really nice at a bargain price and the beauty is all proceeds go to charity!
For those who don’t have the patience to do that or just want to buy new stuff, there is a tent from Bed, Bath and Beyond selling dorm essentials! They are such an expert already no what students need, you don’t even have to think! 🙂
They are so organised they have a system where they allocate a time slot depending on your last name. That way, not everyone goes all at the same time.
You can park your car near the dorm so it is easier to unload the things
There are student volunteers helping out during moving in day
and here they put a sticker on your tires indicating the time you started – and they give you a time limit of I think 20 minutes to unload and move your car out so other cars can park 🙂 We were actually earlier than 8 am! haha!! We just wanted to be sure we did not get caught with the crowd.
The volunteers even help you bring the things 🙂 This was our son’s things! MY GOSH!
The room 🙂 Be early so you can choose your side! haha
Mommy duties! It’s a tradition on the first day of entering the dorm, I fix my son’s room.
The last time I did this was three years ago when he entered boarding school. I know that this will only last for a day haha!! But it’s important he knows how it should be! And I’m so happy he’s proud that he’s from the Philippines. He bought the flag on his own from Amazon which he had in high school. He will be fixing up his room with his roommate so for sure things will move around
The calm before the storm! We were able to go around campus before actual move in day 🙂
Love this!! I forced the boys to take a photo here!! 🙂
How fun! It’s like we are in Disneyland!! Mascot!!! haha!! The Cornell mascot was going around campus. I LOVE IT!!
The campus is so big, there is a public bus that goes through it to transport the students! It was free for registration day for Freshmen
Goodbye 🙁 This was a repeat performance for the photo haha!! 🙂 I can’t really catch all the moments but I make sure I do, so they have to repeat sometimes haha!!
