What to expect...On move-in Day
See what the Residence Life staff has to say--check out the Welcome Messages from your Area Coordinators and Residence Directors.
You should have received a letter and campus map with your housing assignment information. As mentioned in the letter, residents are asked to enter campus from specific locations indicated on the move-in map, since most campus roads have been designated as one-way for the day. To minimize traffic on campus, we are recommending that each student bring only one vehicle to campus on move-in day. New students (ONLY) will be permitted access to their halls beginning at 8:00am on Friday, August 24, 2012.
If you will live in: Nassau, Niagara, Onondaga, Suffolk, or Wayne (Dante House) Halls
Follow the RED signs, entering from the Route 20A/39 entrance, to "Information/Drop Points" marked on the map by Xs. Drop off your belongings, then park either on Onondaga Field or in a student lot.
If you will live in Saratoga Terrace:
Enter campus via Mary Jemison Drive from Route 63 and use the staging area in Lot TT marked on the map by Xs across the road from the South Village. Check-in at the Commons. (No vehicles on the pedestrian walkway.)
If you will live in: Allegany, Genesee, Jones, Livingston, Putnam (EcoHouse), Steuben, or Wyoming Halls
Follow the GREEN signs from Route 63 to College Drive to “Information/Drop Points” marked on the map by Xs.
If you will live in: Erie, Ontario, or Seneca (Writers House) Halls
Follow the BLUE signs from Court Street to “Information/Drop Points” marked on the map by Xs.

WOW: Weeks of Welcome Schedule
Wondering what there is to do on campus between move-in day and the first day of classes. Don't worry...we've got you covered. In fact, check out the two and a half weeks of programming that will help you connect with your new classmates. Click on the image below to see what we have planned for you!
Don't miss out on our New Student Meetups scheduled for fall 2012. Meetups are fun events that are scheduled around campus during Opening Weekend. They will range from board games to Capture the Flag to pick-up basketball. Is there any better way to meet other students and have fun before classes begin? (We say, "No -- there is no better way.")
- Join us for some old-fashioned fun by
attending a meetup -- or even multiple meetups! Meetups are free events, and
all students, especially first-year and transfer students, are welcome to
attend. For a complete schedule of meetups, refer to the calendar.

What to bring to campus
Are you overwhelmed yet with packing for college? This can be quite an overwhelming task as you begin to pack up everything you need and move into your residence hall room. What are the dimensions of my new room? Will everything fit? These are common questions that many of our new students have. Check out Residence Life and see what they have to offer in terms of tips of what to bring and what your room will look like. Don't forget to pack your blue and white clothing--read more about Blue & White Wednesday below.
