Moving into the U this fall? Start here.

Every item that matters, nothing that doesn't. The flagship.

The residence halls honestly, plus the rules nobody reads.

When to sign, what it really costs, how not to get burned.

Dinkytown vs. Stadium Village vs. Como vs. the West Bank.

U-Pass, the Green Line, the Campus Connector, the bridge, bikes.

Dining-hall math, the cheap-eats map, and groceries.

Textbooks without the markup, the U Card, banking, campus jobs.

Boynton, mental health, the safe-ride options, finding people.

Real gear, the tunnels and skyways, layering like you mean it.

Things to do, weekend trips, living car-free without missing out.

The academic calendar, deadlines, and official links.
