LSU Move in Day Experiences

Just want to applaud whomever is in charge of move in day at LSU. Five years ago, we moved in our oldest and spent over 4 hours in line. It was a free for all.
Today, we moved in another child into the same dorm, and we were moving him in within 20 minutes of getting on campus. No stress.
Light years better experience today.

If you didn’t get shot, mugged or jacked, you should consider it a success.

I remember daughter #2 first move in day and she looked at us with sad eyes saying “I’m going to get lost, the campus is so big.” I reminded her she said the same thing her first day of middle school and she figured it out.
A week later she knew where everything was and we never heard that again. Good memories.

It does seem like they have their shite more organized than when they first started this.

Move in day at the Kirb was an experience.

I've been going to Walmarts in the area this week and the incoming talent this year seems primo

It was pretty well run. Hats off to the folks who had to stay out in that heat. I understand the need to drop your trash and move your vehicle but it is physically impossible to get it to the room in 15 minutes. Also blocking parking lots that go unused for the whole weekend is ridiculous.

we were moving him
A grown man being moved into a dorm by his parents?
What did he need help moving into a dorm? Clothes?
No real furniture had to be moved.

William Tate has done great for LSU since he has arrived

Things are so different now. I got in my car with two suitcases and my parents said "see you in a couple of weeks" and I drove to Baton Rouge never having been to campus or having any idea where Power Dorm was at. Figured it all out without a phone or internet.
Kids need to learn some stuff independence.

Moved one in last year and it was complete organized chaos. Lots of moving parts and whatnot, but all in all it was really smooth and easy. The only real issue was only having like 5 or 10 minutes to unload your vehicles before you had to move (although it wasn’t strictly enforced so it wasn’t as much of a problem as I expected).

More than the physical act of moving in, it's about the parents getting to see where the child is moving to, meeting his/her dormmates/roommate, getting to chat with the people in charge of the dorm to make themselves feel better.
My parents loved all of that, and especially going to school far from home, without a great support system (yet), I appreciated that they weren't just throwing me to the wolves.

I helped moved my godson in this morning. His dad had hernia surgery 3 weeks ago, and I told him to sit back and keep your nuts healthy lol.
I was prepared to go to war. Cargo shorts were deployed and I was rolling off of 800mg of caffeine.
We were completely done within a hour, with about 750mg left to burn off……..
The MILFS and Ex-Sorrority moms were in full force.

My parents hated me. I’m not even sure they came down until they came to a game my second year.

That’s good to hear. I was lucky enough to move in a week early because of BIOS but actual move in day was always a disaster back in the day.

Ours was pretty smooth today. He didn’t move into a dorm though. We moved him into the Cottages off Ben Hurr, couldn’t have gone better
Last year we moved him into North Hall which was absolute cluster frick

Took us about 40 minutes in line before we were directed to the dorm. Unloaded quickly but had to wait on the one elevator. Otherwise - no complaints and much better than when I moved myself in 1997.

God I’m jealous of any 18 year old kid moving into LSU. My nephew is one of them. He doesn’t even understand how lucky he is.

Moving in Cedar was not bad at all. It’s all about knowing the little tricks to get in & out fast. Avoid the lines!
