Incoming freshman were welcomed to campus Thursday morning during Moving in Day.

Several hundred faculty, staff, and upperclassmen students were on hand to greet the new Polar Bears, help unload their cars, and answer questions.

Here, students welcome their new friends at one intersection. Small groups of students cheered at every intersection near campus as the frosh and their parents drove in.

Orange and black cupcakes were handed out, as well. Once near their assigned residence hall, people were on hand to unload their possessions, show them to their rooms, and explain the events of the next few days.

It is an exciting time to go to college on the first day, but bittersweet as well when the goodbyes are said later and parents head home.
