If you are an incoming student from outside the New England/Northeast area,
please call the summer recruiter with any move-in/storage questions:

PLEASE NOTE: The time for "first meal" means the first meal that will be
provided by the band. Any meals before that time are the responsibility of
the student. Students should plan on bringing food/snacks until their “first
meal.”
