Campus abounded with energy, as more than 3,900 new first-year students unpacked in UD's residence halls
One by one, new first-year students made their way into University of Delaware residence halls Friday, eager to start their Blue Hen journey.
"Making new friends, enjoying the Welcome Days, starting classes - all of it, really," said pre-veterinary medicine major Nathan Bautista, when the North Wales, Pa., native was asked what most excites him about enrolling at UD.
Bautista joined more than 3,900 first-year students settling into new surroundings in residence halls at UD's Newark campus as part of Move-In Weekend. Students from one of the University's strongest academic classes represent 36 states and 37 countries outside the U.S. After Move-In Weekend, UD's Welcome Days continue with more than 40 events scheduled - including Monday night's Twilight Induction on The Green and the first day of classes on Tuesday.
