About 2,200 of UofL’s 2,700 incoming freshmen will live in on-campus housing this semester and spent this week moving into their new dorms.

“I’m worried about adjusting from a small town to a big city. I’m excited to meet new people and expand and grow and try new things,” said Freshman Chandler Howerton.
