Photo gallery An annual ritual: Moving into the residence halls
Residence hall move-in at the University of Wisconsin–Madison started Monday, Aug. 30, and it was a happy occasion for many students. The move-in lasts until Sept. 2; residents were assigned a specific date and time to move in to ensure activity was spread out evenly.
