Thousands of Owls flocked to campus this week for the annual Move-In tradition. Among the rumble of rolling bins and cars stuffed with packing boxes, students and their families, awash in anticipation, shared in the excitement of the new school year.

Join us as we take a look at Move-In 2024!

"I'm excited to start a new chapter and discover new things about myself! I heard KSU has a great computer science program, plus it's close to home and I like the area. I'm most excited about eating at the Commons because I've heard that's great, too!"

— Eddie Vasquez, KSU student

"I love it here. The atmosphere is really positive, and everybody's been friendly and really helpful. We had a really smooth check-in — it's very organized, very detailed. I'm nervous, not going to lie. I want him to do well, and I know he will."

— Valerie Hightower, KSU parent

"I’m nervous, but I’m also excited. It’s more like a curious kind of nervous. I'm excited for the intramural sports, for sure. I can’t wait to meet my classmates and check out all the clubs. Just student life in general."

— Lakeriah Smith, KSU student

"I really like KSU's campus. I like that I can have my own experience, but it's not too far away from home. I'm looking forward to joining communities and participating in different activities!"

— Keshaun Pettis, KSU student

"I’m super excited! We’ve been preparing for this for a couple of years now. He’s really excited today, with eyes wide open, so to speak. Seeing him gain that sense of independence, getting on a schedule, and doing things without a parent looking over his shoulder — it's really exciting. My oldest son went to KSU a few years ago and graduated back in 2019. I know it's a good campus with good structure, a very good staff, and a solid pathway for success."

— Micah Williams, KSU parent
