I always enjoy helping with check-in, and this year was no different. It is always well-organized, and it is fun to welcome new students to campus! The table set-up this year was a good change. I also liked the "Questions" booth where we could direct students with questions to Maura. I know there isn't much that can be done about this, but the chairs behind the tables were awful. They aren't easily movable, which even made it hard to move to stand up to help students, and there was hardly any space to move around in anyway, so I was essentially trapped in my spot for three hours in maybe a two-foot square of space. It was frustrating to not be able to move in any direction without tripping over a (virtually) immovable chair, and there was really nowhere else for those chairs to go to get them out of the way (which is why I say I'm not sure there is much that can be done). Claustrophobia was real. :-) The issue has been the same for the three years that I have helped with this. If those chairs could magically go away somewhere else for next year, that would honestly be the one big improvement I could suggest for the comfort of volunteers!
