Moving In Day

Moving-in day at Alfred State College saw hundreds of families hauling their students’ belongings to campus to begin the new academic year. Instead of the traditional linens and clothing packed in a tidy footlocker, students these days need trucks and trailers to transport today’s college necessities, including computers, refrigerators, and the myriad electronic gadgets that make life “bearable.” Pictured here, a student and her “muscle” take a break on a hot day before bringing the next load of furnishings to her room.
