Moving Out? Moving In?
Moving Tips for September 1st
1. Don't wait until the last minute! Reserve a moving truck or van now and discuss payment up front. 
2. Plan for 1 hour parking
limits in Fenway and Mission Hill on Sept. 1. So be ready to move before you park. More details on our website in late August. 3. Ask your landlord about exact move-out and move-in date and time.
4. If you have a lot of trash, ask your landlord about proper disposal. Do not leave trash on the curb unless it is trash day.
5. Clean your place per instructions in your lease to ensure you receive as much of your deposit back as possible!

Conduct Corner
Civility.
What does it mean to you?
OSCCR receives many reports of students being mean and treating each other in an uncivil manner. Inappropriate text messages, hurtful posts on social media, and physical harm are some examples. Remember the sentiment of "I am Northeastern" and that you are a member of one community. The actions of one community member affects and represents the whole of the NU community.
Think about ways you can promote civility, both on and off campus to ensure NU is a place of openness, kindness, compassion, and CIVILITY!

SAFEnet Advisory:
Be Scam Savvy
Online shopping is fun and convenient. However, it's also a way for criminals to offer non-existent apartments, jobs, and stolen items.
NUPD has investigated reports from students who have not received items they paid for, received bad checks from buyers, and suffered from identity fraud schemes.
Follow these online safety tips to avoid becoming scammed:
1. Don't wire money for your rent or security deposit. If you buy furniture or other goods online, use PayPal or another trusted source. If you sell an item, be aware of the risks of accepting checks or money orders.
2. When using Craigslist or similar sites and have to meet a buyer or seller, meet in a public place; tell a friend or family member where you are going and who you are meeting. Bring a friend.
3. Never give out account numbers, social security, or credit card numbers, unless your landlord requests to run a security/credit check.
4. Only a scammer will "guarantee" the transaction.
5. Trust your instincts!
Remember, if it is too good to be true,
it probably is.

Dear Roaming Husky,
Bedbugs are gross! How do I avoid them and what do I do if I get them in my apartment?
-Worried Husky
Dear Worried Husky,
Nobody wants bedbugs in their apartment! Avoid buying used mattresses or picking up furniture from the curb. If you discover bedbugs in your apartment, notify your landlord so they can hire a pest control professional. You can also call Inspectional Services (ISD) at 617-534-5611 for an inspection. For additional information on bedbugs go to here.
