Express Move-In
Dream Team Members will be awaiting your arrival to unload your car and carry items up to your apartment. Please make sure to arrive during your assigned time to take advantage of this perk. To ensure a smooth move-in process, we ask that the driver remains in the car until all belongings are unloaded and then park in the James River Youth parking lot. The driver will then be shuttled back to the apartment to help their student unpack.
