Moving In

Hello roommate, good-bye Mom and Dad

To watch the big move-in, click on the slide show above.

 

In the best of all scenarios, it will not rain during the four bustling days that remain for the 11,000 Boston University students to carry their clothes, computers, and the occasional stuffed animal into their dorms. It will not be more than 90 degrees, the shampoo will not break open and spill all over the sweaters, and the Red Sox will not be playing at Fenway. In the worst of all scenarios, all of the above will happen at once; plus, doting parents will decide that the feng shui in Towers is not quite right.

At least we don’t have to worry about snow.
