Students Move into Dorms at Iowa State, MSU, Memphis Ahead Fall Semester

Across multiple universities, including Iowa State University, Michigan State University, and the University of Memphis, new students moved into dormitories in mid-August 2025, marking the start of the academic year. At Iowa State University, students received support from family, friends, and volunteers as they settled into residence halls on campus. Michigan State University experienced rainy weather during move-in day, but students like incoming freshman Arielle Gluck expressed excitement about joining the campus community and participating in clubs and classes. MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz personally helped his daughter move in and highlighted the university's increased resources and advisors to support student success. Similarly, at the University of Memphis, volunteers actively assisted new students with unloading and moving into dorms, creating a welcoming atmosphere as the semester approached. These coordinated efforts across campuses underscore the communal and supportive nature of the transition to college life for incoming students.
