The “Scottie’s” in the DetailsOn Thursday, August 23, a team of people will be on campus and waiting to help you move all of your belongings into your new home. We will have golf carts, bins and tons of Scottie energy on-hand to help you get moved in to your residence hall, so that you can begin making that space your own.

As you begin to make travel plans, note that parents and guests will have several sessions specific to them to attend on Thursday afternoon.

To help you begin thinking about what you might need and what you might NOT need, we have solicited some advice from a few “expert” Scotties - our current and recently graduated students (see page 2)!

A Little Piece of Advice from Your Scottie Siblings...

“Stay busy and meet new people - this will take your mind off of being away from home and starting something completely new!”

~ Sigal Kahn ’20

“Ask for help! The beauty of Agnes is that 99.9% of the people you will run into will go out of their way to help you.”

~ Lauren Alexander ’18

“Chances are good you won’t leave anything super important at home, so don’t stress too much over packing.” ~ Sarah Dickinson ’18

“Take it one day at a time. Your first year will be full of new experiences. You’ll leave a completely different person and that’s okay!” ~ Mariah Lopez ’19

“Your first year, go to every meal in the dining hall and socialize. Before you know it, you’ll start to see familiar faces in this brand new environment.” ~ Jessa Rhea ’20

“Create designated spheres for homework and relaxing. My room is where I relax, not where I do homework. You live at school so find a space where you can take care of yourself outside of academics.”

~ Katy Martel ’18

“Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Your fellow Scotties are supporting you along the way!”

~ Yasmine Green ’19
