Posted August 23, 200915 yr Xavier University's move-in day 2009 On Monday, August 24, Xavier University will admit a record class of freshmen approximately 1,200 large into the classrooms. An elongated move-in schedule that stretched from Thursday morning into Friday evening. The admission is 40 percent larger than last year's class of 860 students, and 7,152 submitted applications to Xavier. For the fall, Xavier's total student population is 6,355. Around 90 percent of the freshmen are living on campus in residence halls along Victory Parkway and Herald Avenue corridors. The 200-strong Xavier Move Crew, dressed in bright green t-shirts, assisted students by unloading the cars and carrying the new students' belongings up to their respective rooms. Here are several photographs from Xavier's move-in day 2009. A father and son walk towards a dormitory. The Xavier Move Crew helped move in items from the vehicle to the dormitory. They could unload a car in a matter of a minute. Our electric vehicle that transports campus mail. New students walk around Bellarmine Chapel to their respective Manresa leaders. Showing that Xavier spirit! Not all of Xavier is female. I take that back. More Xavier spirit! The theme revolved around people who inspire others to do great things. Be sure to view all 85 photographs of the People at Xavier gallery, and you can find even more photographs at the UrbanUp Xavier University article. Xavier University has a Facebook page that all should join if you are interested in learning more about the university, or if you are faculty, staff or alumni.
August 23, 200915 yr REK, you're right, it almost brought back memories for me as well. Then I remembered, those god awful years have been purged from my memory.
August 23, 200915 yr That's a lot of happy white folks! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
August 23, 200915 yr These are excellent photos, the quality is incredible. Ah, takes me back 6 years.
August 23, 200915 yr Wow, this takes me back. Move crew, Manresa...... Great set Sherman. Me, too! Manresa was a lot of fun. Wow, 1200 incoming freshman! My freshman class had a little over 800.
August 23, 200915 yr I still did all the welcome week stuff for freshman even as a senior. How could I pass up all the free food. The move-in was pretty easy for me. You'd pull up and 5 students would have all your stuff moved up in 2 trips. If you needed help with assembly, they'd provide it. If you decided you wanted a loft for your room, they'd build it. It was nice because it gave time with the fam to wander around campus instead of worrying about getting everything set up throughout the day.
August 23, 200915 yr Ah the early fall, when there are the most hot chicks on any campus. I don't know what happens to make a lot of the hot chicks disappear later in the year. I think they hole up in their dorm rooms eating ice cream and chocolate while watching Disney movies, cut off all their hair and turn into fat girls.
August 24, 200915 yr I miss college already, but I have to disagree...Spring Quarter is always the best for those on the quarter system. All the girls are just itching to wear their new spring/summer clothes and any sight of sunshine will bring them out in full force. Love the Harvey Milk sign btw.

August 24, 200915 yr The best thing about the students being back is that the all-you-can-eat smorgasbord with ice cream is BACK OPEN behind my building. I can't wait to go there tomorrow and slop down all that.

This is why I don't miss college at all! Probably the most miserable time in my life.

August 25, 200915 yr Wait, what? They walk by my building daily, skipping merrily on their way to class. Many of them are really hot. Catholic school girls. Yes.
August 25, 200915 yr There is a long tradition of these t-shirts every year for the crosstown shootout. Although the girl in front of the electric mail vehicle is definitely an exception. Sherman, you focused on the wrong subject in that photo buddy.
August 25, 200915 yr Can't see the picture but I'm sure it's the 'Xavier Girls are Ugly' shirt. Stay classy Clifton.
January 19, 201015 yr ^ too funny! Move-in day must be a lot easier these days with the newer, smaller technology the kids own. LCD monitors and iPods make the load a little lighter. Unlike my cathode ray tube TV and computer monitor, IBM 486, CDs, cassette tapes, etc.

"Freshmen girls: Get them while they're skinny!" as I learned.
January 20, 201015 yr Everything I needed as a freshman when I moved into my dorm at Purdue was in two suitcases, plus a clock radio. It all fit nicely into the trunk of my Dad's black '57 Mercury Monterey. I think move-in took all of ten minutes, and then we went to lunch and then I was on my own. After a couple of weeks I decided I wanted my Raleigh Sports 3-speed, so on a later visit Mom and Dad brought it. With the front wheel removed, it fit into the Mercury's trunk, too.

January 20, 201015 yr My aunt had a Caddy, 1972 or thereabouts, and I could put my bike in the trunk of that without taking anything off it. Heck, I probably could have crawled in there with it.
