Going away to school takes more stuff than in his day, said a father helping his son move in to Macdonald Hall on Sunday.
“When I packed for college, I just threw my backpack on my shoulder and I was ready to go,” said Steve Robinson, who said it took seven trips from the van to carry in the supplies of his son, Dillon Robinson. “Between the iPad, computer, guitar, every bit of clothing he owns—it adds up.”
Luckily, he said, there was plenty of help.
“There were all sorts of volunteers offering to haul with us,” he said. “They were very polite and very helpful.”
