move-in day
New residence starts
Move-in day is the designated day when new residents arrive to occupy a space—typically students moving into college dormitories at the start of a semester, or tenants taking possession of an apartment.
The occasion often involves chaos, boxes, and family members helping carry furniture: Move-in day traffic was a nightmare.
The term implies an official or coordinated event rather than just any day someone happens to relocate.
