Conversation Starter with Roommate

We are so excited to see you soon! Just a few weeks until move-in begins! As we move closer to Move-In, we wanted to encourage you to reach out to your roommates to start building connections! Below are instructions and suggested prompts to begin the conversation. Focus this time and energy on connecting with each other and who is bringing which items for your space. There will be plenty of time once you arrive to campus to discuss expectations of living together and what feels best as you make this transition! Your RAs look forward to guiding you through that discussion.

To help with the flow of the move-in process, we designate your move in time according to the building that you will be moving into, in addition to the floor number.

To determine your building number, you will look at the first number of your room assignment. 

To determine your floor number for buildings 1-9, you will look at the second digit of your room assignment. 
To determine your floor number for building 10, you will look to the third digit of your room assignment.

Exciting day! You are about to arrive for your Move-In appointment. As you approach University Housing, you can park your car at the designated parking lots or the temporary 5 minute parking. Please start your check-in at the Lassen Housing Office. At this location, you will be provided with your welcome items and apartment keys for your move-In. Once checked in, you can return to your car and move to the closest unloading zone to your apartment.

To prepare for your move-in, please remember to pack a photo ID. If you are a returning on-campus housing resident, you will need to bring your Bay card to the Move-In process. Up to two guests will be permitted per resident to assist with the move-in process. We urge no guest under the age of 12.

Resources for You

Residents and their guest(s) will have the opportunity to borrow rolling bins for a designated time to assist with moving personal items. 20 Minutes unloading permits will also be available for temporary parking by designated curbside closest to your community.
