Students who move off campus for the first time also experience many changes due to the increase in responsibility, such as cooking and cleaning. Moving, both on campus and off campus, can be made easier with the use of handcarts and dollies. And, of course, many hands make lighter work. Students moving on campus may receive assistance from volunteers from campus ministries such as the New Life Fellowship. The volunteers help students move into residence halls.
Students living on campus also face temporary housing as a potential living situation.
Temporary housing accommodates more students than traditional dorm rooms. Students in temporary housing live in the study lounges. Students are pulled out of temporary housing when there are vacancies in the dorms. Temporary housing allows for an additional enrollment of freshman, said Kathy Krinks, manager of the assignment office. They will be placed in permanent rooms as spaces are available.
