Making Move-in Day Memories
Take along a family member or friend whose sole responsibility it is to record the day's events. What a great keepsake! Whether it's with a digital camera or a video camera, the memories captured will last a lifetime.

Encourage the person to bring along a notepad and a pen too — there might be a chance to catch a funny quote for the day or to interview folks during some down time. A great digital or paper scrapbook could be created and sent to your student a few weeks after the semester starts — along with some friendly greetings from home — to remind him how much you love him.
