UConn Offering Early Move-In to Avoid Sunday Storm

The University of Connecticut is opening its housing a day early to help students avoid moving in during the worst of the weekend storm.

UConn residence halls at Storrs and Stamford will open at 9 a.m. Saturday. Move-in was originally scheduled for Sunday.

The school is encouraging students to take advantage of the early opening on Saturday, or wait until Monday. Students who are new to their halls or picking up keys for new room assignments will be able to check in from noon until 4 p.m. Saturday.

The worst of the storm, which will include snow, sleet, and freezing rain, is expected Sunday.

The storm is expected to start late Saturday and go into Sunday. The NBC Connecticut meteorologists are forecasting between 3 to 6 inches of snow in Storrs and 1 to 3 inches in Stamford. After the storm, bitterly cold temperatures are expected and Monday will likely be icy.

The dining halls and Storrs Student Union will not reopen until Sunday so students should make other plans for meals.

Students who have no other choice to move in but Sunday are asked to use caution and look out for pedestrian and plows while driving.
