First-Year Students Move Onto Campus Carrying Belongings, Excitement and Some Nervousness

Students and families at 麻豆影院 were met with beautiful blue skies, rays of sunshine and a few cool breezes on Aug. 13 as they moved into residence halls on the 麻豆影院 Campus, for the start of the Fall 2024 Semester.

First-year students moved in on the first of three move-in days this week. Schedules were staggered to reduce the congestion of the more than 4,000 new, traditional, first-year students getting settled in their rooms before the start of fall semester classes on Monday, Aug. 19.
