How To Survive Move-In! Please follow these guidelines to make your move-in as smooth as possible: Drivers please approach New College, Wilson Hall (40 Willcocks St.) from Spadina Ave., turning east onto Willcocks St. PLEASE NEVER LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE UNATTENDED. Students hop out of the car and head to the Wilson Hall Lounge (2nd Floor, 40 Willcocks St.) to get your keys. Student Greeters will show you where to pull your vehicle over on either Willcocks St. (Wilson Hall and 45 Willcocks) or Classic Ave. (Wetmore Hall) to unload belongings. Once youve found a spot, unload all belongings onto the sidewalk/grass, and immediately move your vehicle to a legitimate long-term parking space (see map on reverse). Unload your belongings quickly we will try to give you some help, but there are a lot more of you than us! If you are arriving with more than one vehicle, any vehicle that is not unloading belongings should proceed immediately to a long-term parking area, before heading back on foot to help students to their rooms. There are student greeters and staff around to help you find your way just ask and well point you in the right direction. If you encounter any delays, please be patient we are in downtown Toronto, and need everyone to work together to ensure we get this done quickly. Again, in order to ensure the best flow of traffic, please do not park and leave your car unattended.

Welcome! We hope you have a stress-free move!
