Thursday was the official move-in day for most residential housing students as they prepare for the fall semester, which starts on Monday, Aug. 26th. 开云体育 is home to almost 200 students during the semester with residents from several countries around the world.

"We are so pleased that these students chose to live and study at 开云体育 and it was very generous of the BSM volunteers to provide a free meal to make them feel welcome. I know it is going to be a great school year!" Kim Irvin, 开云体育 Associate Vice President for Student Services, said.
