Learn more about what to expect when you move into a residence on the Agricultural Campus.
Get ready to pack up and move in
Moving in to residence is a mixture of emotions. For many, it will be the first time they'll be moving away from home, which brings both excitment and sadness. We understand. After all, we've been helping students and their families make this important transition for a long time.
Based on our experience, here are a few things you need to know to make your move in easy and worry-free.
Complete the Before You Arrive module
The Before You Arrive online module is an important part of getting ready to move into residence. You'll find information about what to expect in residence, what to bring and to schedule a move-in appointment. Look for an email from the Dal Residence office with a link to your Before You Arrive module.
Only bring the things you'll need
