Grant’s direct answer
The apartment should be functional rather than perfectly decorated. Grant wants the bedroom set up, at least a couch or basic seating, some dishes, internet and utilities working, parking understood, and the commute tested or realistically checked. He also wants the graduate to start the social side of the move by identifying nearby events or attending one or two activities before work begins. The final week should reduce uncertainty and create comfort—not become a frantic attempt to finish every decorating project before Day One.
