BOISE STATE, Idaho — Move-in day is here for students attending Boise State University. If you're a parent or a student living on campus these are some essential things you'll want to know:
- Move-in day is August 15 and 16 this year. Each student is permitted up to two helpers and two vehicles, however, larger vehicles like trailers are not allowed.
- After arriving on campus, students will have one hour to get their belongings moved in. After that, students should their vehicles to long-term parking. This is so vehicles can move quickly and parking can be made available for everyone.
- Staff will be on duty to assist and wheeled carts are available, but as move-ins get busier, both will likely be scarce in availability.
