\"Students<\/a>

Students arrived on campus Sunday with their belongings, ready to move into residence, which they'll call home for the next eight months. <\/p><\/div>\n

They arrived with suitcases and boxes, ready to call Brock home for the next eight months.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, 2,300 of 2,400 students moved into residence during the annual move-in day. The event, which also kicked off O-Week festivities<\/a>, went smoothly thanks to the many people who played a role in getting thousands of students settled in their new digs, said Jamie Fleming, director of residences.<\/p>\n

“Again this year, we had tremendous support from a very large number of student volunteers from clubs and groups, IceBreakers and varsity teams, who were mostly co-ordinated through BUSU,” Fleming said. “Also, we had assistance from the students on SMARTstart, Student Life and Community Experience,<\/a> residence life staff, peer mentors, the residence action council and BUSU executives, which is always very much appreciated.”<\/p>\n

Though the day was free of major glitches, Fleming said the event is reviewed each year to find ways to improve the move-in process and ensure it continues running smoothly in the future. Take, for example, that move-in day happened on Sunday this year rather than the usual Labour Day.<\/p>\n

For that reason, Fleming seeking feedback about this latest edition of move-in day.<\/p>\n
