We moved one of my daughters into her school last Thursday and when we got there the room was much tinier than we’d expected, the furniture larger, and the roommate (actually, the roommate’s mom, I think) had already picked all her things and spread her stuff everywhere in order to unpack.
We didn’t want to step on any toes (heh) but managed to get the room moved around a bit so the girls had room to walk, at least.
My point? It seemed awful at first, and the room was so crowded it was difficult to imagine it being livable. Now it looks very nice, and I haven’t heard anything from my daughter since last week, so I assume she’s alive.
It would have helped if before move-in I had heard some “it was totally horrible but turned out great” stories, and I’m sure there are some doozies. Anyone have some good ones? D#2 (her twin, also a first-year, and slightly scarred by the process of moving in her sister) is moving in this Friday.
