Questions about living off campus and tips? VirginiaTech

Hey hokies! This coming fall I'm gonna be living of campus for the first time. I'm real excited, but at the same time also very confused. There are some things that I am kinda worried about, so I'll just list my questions below. I don't know if it'll be possible for everyone to answer them, as I know different housing places have different rules, but it's worth a shot.

-When I move in, I want to first take care of getting a bed so I can sleep that night. Would you recommend bringing something like an air mattress? I don't think my parent's car will fit a real mattress, let along an entire bed frame as well. What should I do with the whole bed thing for my first night? I'm open to suggestions.

-How do people get big things like bed frames, desks/chairs, refrigerators, etc. into their places? I more than likely will not have room in my car to transport any of those things from a place someone is selling them to my house.

-What's the usual policy with people sleeping over? Say my parents wanted to spend the night in my house, would that be fine? I read in the handbook that people should not be staying in the house for so long that it's like they're living there, but it doesn't specify how long is too long. Is it usually ok for people to sleep over for just 1 night?

These are my main questions. If you can think of anything else, tips or otherwise, that would make moving in much easier for me, please let me know. Keep in mind that it's my first time ever living off campus, so really anything you have to say about that will be helpful for me. In case you were wondering, yes I'm living with people that I know, but I felt like I was bugging them too much with all the questions I was asking them.

Thanks so much everyone!
