Coming before SUUSI starts on Sunday?
Sorry, you can't come early and hope to "crash" on the campus, no matter how anxious you might be to get started. On the Saturday night before SUUSI, you can't slip into the dorm and use a bed, or even sleep on the floor. SUUSI pays for each room we use, and we honor our commitments.
The UU Congregation in Blacksburg offers pre-SUUSI hospitality for suggested donations to their congregation:
- Transportation from the Roanoke airport to accommodations on Saturday or from the airport to SUUSI on Sunday
- Bed & breakfast in members' homes on Saturday night plus transportation to and from the church
- Saturday dinner at church
- Transportation from the Blacksburg church service to SUUSI
You can find more information in the
catalog or the confirmation NUUS.
NOTE: Some SUUSI staff do come a day or two in advance to set up the computers, arrange for Registration Sunday, check out the safety of planned Nature trips, etc. We identify the specific number of "early arrival" beds that we will use, and SUUSI pays the university for those staff to use the dorm rooms for one or two extra nights. You may know someone arriving early, but they can't sneak you into the dorm early without violating our contract with the university. SUUSI is an intentional community - you don't want to start the week with a breach of ethics, right?
