So happy about new AU adventures! When we moved our daughter into the AU dorms a few years ago, we were given the some advice that proved to be so helpful...I added a few details we discovered as well, I hope this helps!
-Bring a small dolly (and bungee straps). It helps with staging. We found a small one at Lowe's that fits perfectly in narrow halls...used it all four years for AU moves and also used it to move our son to another university...invaluable.
-Bring a tarp to help with staging on the grass, to bring into dorms. Bring a second tarp if rain is expected. (In the quad, they asked us to unload on the grass and move the cars quickly to allow other vehicles to unload, not sure if they still do that, but bring tarps just in case, we were not prepared)
-Only command strips (or the like) are allowed on the walls, they are great. We were able to hang the curtain rods with the command strip hooks and they stayed up all year.
-Bring every type of tool you could possibly need. Several dads in the Quad had to cut down bookshelves (personal property, not school property), etc, because of the odd sized rooms and ceiling heights.
-We used bed risers to raise bed for under bed storage and used the industrial Velcro tape to hang the longer bed skirts, it came off easily when we moved her out. Don't use duct tape on fabric or the beds, the epoxy is too sticky and could ruin items (I noticed several folks using twin bed sheets, instead of actual bed skirts...very clever)
-Don't worry if you don't have everything perfect, you can come back on bid day or another day to help. You may even find that the girls are fine with things just the way they are or can do things themselves.
-Enjoy time with your daughter and keep things light heart-ed while you are sweating in the Auburn heat! (Drink lots of water) We found everyone in her dorm to be excited and helpful...and hot.
