Just wondering, how much time do you have on the first day to settle in? I live out in Utah so it would be a too far of a drive for my old car so I was just going to fly. I won't be bringing anyone to help me so I'm just a little worried.
There is a lot of time to settle in during your first day. Depending on how many people are in line ahead of you at check-in you'll have time to at the very least drop your luggage off in your room before heading to casting. If you're not on the first bus to casting then you'll have maybe an hour or two to unpack your luggage. After casting you'll likely have a housing meeting at some point in the afternoon so again here is more time, at least another hour or two, to set things up. After the housing meeting the rest of the day is yours to do whatever. It should be plenty of time to make your bed hang clothes in the closet or whatever you need to do. If you can, catch a ride to walmart or target with someone who has a car because after a day like check in day, you really don't want to try to fight all of the new arrivals on the J bus on their way to walmart.
