WELCOME BACK, RESIDENT LOBOS

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.

BEFORE YOU MOVE IN

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.

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 25th, 2019 at 7:30 am for

residents. For more information visit pats.unm.edu.

6. You will need your UNM ID in order to check into your room. You should

have received this at your orientation but visit the Lobo Card Office if you

need a replacement.

asking for help when things get tough.

LO B O R E C L A I M

REUSE, REUSE, RECLAIMStarted 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 doanted

items and selling them garage-sale style during move-in. Now in it’s

fourth 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

envoirnment and your on-campus community.

ADVICE FROM RESIDENT LOBOS

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
