New Blue Jays who arrive at Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus on Move-In Day have a short list of tasks:

Get here
Meet the resident assistant and any roommates or suitemates
Part from their families and unpack in time for the floor meeting in their hall

Although there is the excitement of the move-in crew cheering on first-years as their cars pull up to the residence hall, or receiving keys to students' own abodes, Move-In Day is perhaps the simplest of steps in the comprehensive journey on which more than 1,300 new Hopkins students are soon to embark.

"Moving to JHU really just felt like the logical next step in my life, especially because I've been dreaming about this school since middle school," said Kimberly Dong, an incoming first-year student.
