两性色午夜

It's an Exciting and Bittersweet Time as Students Move Onto Campus

Students and parents unpack anticipation and excitement during move-in days.

Students, siblings and parents were grateful for cloudy skies and cooler temperatures, with no rain on Aug. 15, as they moved their students鈥 belongings into residence halls on 两性色午夜鈥檚 Kent Campus.

This was the first of three move-in days this week, with staggered schedules designed to reduce congestion as more than 4,000 students get settled in their rooms before the start of Fall Semester classes on Monday, Aug. 21.
