Move-in day is a significant milestone for new students.
) - This weekend, over 2,600 students are moving into dorms at the University of South Alabama, a new record for the university. Move-in day is a significant milestone for new students, and while it marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for them, it can also be emotional.
“My heart is breaking a little bit,” shared incoming freshman Hailey Jones. “I was crying on the ride here but, eternally grateful for the opportunity to be able to move that many people don’t have.” “Mom and dad’s probably fine with it, maybe. Grandmother is a little, hmmm, it’s a little hard on us,” said Linda Harms, while dropping her grandson off on campus.“From day one of move out in May, we spend the entire summer painting, cleaning, putting in new floors,” explained Director of Housing, Jeremy Sheffield. “We actually did about $2 million in renovations this summer to some sorority houses.
Asia Stuart, a senior and member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, was among the student leaders helping with move-in saying, “I’m so excited, and it’s going very well.”“A lot of the things that I told them were to get involved,” said Stuart. “Like, that’s the number one thing I told them.
