At Smith-Steeb Hall, parents like Gina Khalil are helping their children move in for the second time. With experience on their side, they make the process smoother and more efficient. Despite the large incoming class, Gina is confident that her daughter’s dorm experience will not be affected.

On the other hand, at Lincoln Tower, incoming freshman Farah Leblanc is preparing to live with 15 other girls. While it may be a tight squeeze, she remains optimistic and ready to make the best of her situation. With around 80,000 applications received this year, Ohio State University is gearing up to accommodate the influx of students.

Spokesman David Isaacs reassures that the university is prepared to handle the large freshman class. With about 40 residence halls on the main campus, there is flexibility to accommodate the growing student population. Parents like Matt Brown are impressed with the dorm facilities, even if the space may be tight.

As students settle into their new dorms, they are excited to start the year and make the most of their college experience. While not every dorm situation may be perfect, the sense of community and opportunity to meet new people is what makes the college experience memorable.

So, as students unpack their belongings and get ready for the year ahead, they are filled with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead. Move-in day at Ohio State University is a time of new beginnings, friendships, and opportunities, and this year is shaping up to be one for the books.
