WELCOME! You are officially a Resident Lobo! In this booklet you will find helpful information to make moving into your residence hall a smooth transition. Bring this guide with you to move in for easy reference.
BE FOR E YOU M OV E I N First things first! There are a few helpful things you should do before you come to campus.
1.
Contact your roommate. Get acquainted and decide who will be bringing what to avoid two of everything. Log into your housing dashboard for more information about your roommate.
2.
Start getting involved! You don’t have to wait until you arrive to get to know us. Join us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook at @UNMResLife to get to know Residence Life or to ask any questions about your new home.
3.
Make sure you are up to date on your immunizations. Visit your doctor to find out more information on appropriate vaccinations before coming to college or visit UNM Student Health & Counseling for more information. We strongly encourage vaccinations. Help us protect the pack!
4.
Consider purchasing property insurance. Many homeowner policies cover student property, or you may purchase additional coverage to minimize any financial impact from theft, fire, etc.
5.
Get your parking pass for the academic year online. Parking passes will be available for purchase beginning Thursday, July 29th, 2021 at 7:30 am for residents. For more information visit pats.unm.edu.

You will need your UNM ID in order to check into your room. Lobo Card Office will be at check-in to distribute Lobo ID’s. Bring government issued ID to claim your Lobo Card.

LO B O R E C L A I M R E US E , R E U S E , R E C L A I M Started in 2016, Lobo Reclaim was created to minimize the number of usable items residents were throwing out during move-out and minimize the overall cost of move-in, by collecting and reselling student donated items and selling them garage-sale style during move-in. Now in it’s fifth year, Lobo Reclaim gives students the opportunity to buy gently used items at a huge discount instead of buying new and it keeps items with more life to live out of the trash and landfills. So don’t buy new hangers or a shower caddy, buy from Lobo Reclaim and help the environment and your on-campus community.

9 A DV ICE FR O M R E S I D E N T L OB O S Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. It’s okay to go to new club meetings or social events by yourself because you’ll definitely leave with a new friend. Emily M., RVA Resident
Leave your door open to new opportunities (literally and metaphorically). Meet your neighbors, say hi to people in the hallways, help your roommate and your neighbors move in. The more people you meet, the more friends you’ll make! Tim C., Hokona Resident
“Getting involved is the best strategy to learning new skills or making new friends. Try something new out, you’ll never know where it’ll take you.” Sab M., SRC Resident
Some life-saving items- in the traditional halls it is always handy to have a water pitcher and a single serve coffee maker. You won’t have to go back and forth to the water fountain for water, and it is cost and time efficient to make coffee from your room. Invite all your friends to your hall and have a coffee and tea hangout! Second, it may be hard the first few weeks transitioning into college life and getting used to being away from home. The best way to help with homesickness is to talk to family back home frequently, but also become engaged in activities with new friends. Rebekah B., Hokona Resident
