Classes begin next week at Emporia State University, and students begin moving into their residence hall spaces Wednesday. At least a lot of them do.
Director of Residential Life Kayla Landgren says residence assistants and several sports teams have claimed their spots.
Senior Director of Student Life Jaden Rahe says her team also works closely with Residential Life to make the move-in experience as smooth as possible.
Landgren says campus activities begin even before classes start next week.
