Wright State University students, with their parents’ help, began moving into residence halls Wednesday for the new school year.
The university is expected to have 2,304 students move into residence halls and apartments during move-in this week
Wright State president Sue Edwards said this incoming class is one of the largest ones in a long time for the university. Last year, about 2,000 students were living on campus.
“This is the most residential students we’ve had living on campus in over 10 years,” Jennifer Attenweiler, director of Wright State’s Residence Life, said.
She credits the increase in housing to a record-high retention rate among the students who chose to continue to live on campus. About 67% of students who lived on campus last year chose to do so again this year.
Wright State kicks off First Weekend activities on Friday to acclimate first-year and transfer students to campus and help them get acquainted before classes start on Monday.
