No unloaders and no carts, it is a fricking mess. Got her situated, now time to enjoy empty nest.

Holee shite man. Unload your own stuff. What world do we live in? It's fricking college. A state school, not some expensive resort.

Lotta negativity on this board.

Anyway my son (soph) is moving into ECA tomorrow. He can’t fit everything in his Civic so I’m hauling some stuff for him. Will buy him lunch somewhere (my pick) and bid him adieu.

Your definition is different than mine. Lawnmower parents knock down barriers for their kids so that their kids don’t have to incur difficulty.

Their difficulty will just come later in life then.

Problem solved if everyone doesn’t move in the same day. My son went Friday and the only problem he had was he didn’t have a cart. No big deal his roommate was with him and they got it done. I was there yesterday and that was a cluster. We helped two of the suite mates move in and I got to watch the clusterfrick unfold. It was actually kind of funny especially when it started raining. Grown men were griping about gettin wet because they didn’t have a “device”(AKA-a cart) to roll an empty clothes hamper to the room. I just said frick this and started carrying stuff to their room. Stuff may have gotten a little wet but, it’ll be okay. Oh and then there was one of those U-Haul trucks that was slammed packed. Somewhere along the way common sense was lost on so many levels!

How does the process work these days?

My freshman year you had to go to the PMac to get your key then travel to your dorm to unload. Was a cluster, but I found out that if you didn't move in on moving day they would send your key to the front desk of your dorm.

Sophomore year I just waited a day or two then came.to campus. Went to front desk, got my key, and was moved in within 15 minutes.

Had to lug an entire bedroom furniture set to the 4th floor today. How TF does any sane person think a freshman needs 3 dressers, a vanity, fridge, and 3 bookcases

Why didn’t you refuse to move it? Don’t let yourself be abused as a volunteer. You’re there to HELP. Not there to be tortured by strangers.

Sean O’Keefe was the man. He was real and actually cared about students and interacting with them. He ate lunch every day in the dining halls with the students.

You couldn’t pay the current administration to come out and talk to students or eat at a lowly craphole (in their mind) like a dining hall. That’s beneath them. Which is why LSU is turning into shite and the administration needs to go.

I’m sure your wife is doing a fine job.

I got nothin’

But I do miss Sean.

We moved my son in too. Left at 11am, had a 2pm move in time. Was unloading at 1:30. 15 minutes later, all his things where in his room. LSU had a lot of students helping haul stuff and get everyone checked in. Traffic was epic, but it did work for the west side of campus.
