Questions about Res Life? Getting To Bradley

Hall Offices are open and move-in helpers are available during the designated times.

If you’re a residential student and are unable to return to campus during the designated move-in times Friday, Aug. 20, or Saturday, Aug. 21, please fill out a request for move-in accommodation by August 15, 2021.

If you’re returning to the residence halls as a part of Orientation, International Student and Scholar Services, or an athletic team, please follow their plans and arrangements.

At the time of your check-in, you’ll be required to pay the $40 Residence Hall Association Activity fee. Payment can be made by cash (exact amount, no change available) or check (made out to RHA); you must pay this fee prior to receiving your room key.

For questions regarding the meal plan, please visit https://bradley.campusdish.com/. You can make changes to your meal plan within your account at mybu.bradley.edu between August 20th and September 3rd. All students begin with a 9-per-week meal plan.

Getting Unloaded

When you pull up to your residence hall, we’ll have helpers ready to get you unloaded and help move your items to your room. Once your car is unloaded, find a parking spot and enjoy the rest of the day.

You’re required to follow the move-in route as many streets surrounding campus will be closed and rerouted. Bradley Police will direct traffic to keep a steady flow. Please follow their lead.

Getting the Most Out of Your Visit

Seeing and experiencing the university first-hand is the best way to familiarize yourself with all Bradley has to offer and to feel comfortable about your new home away from home. We suggest some of the following activities to help everyone feel at ease:

  • Bring your camera, take pictures!
  • Drink lots of water and get plenty of rest.
  • Take a walk around the campus and locate some of the offices and/or classrooms you will go to during the upcoming semester.
  • Go on a short outing off-campus to learn about the Peoria area.
