Campus looked a little more vibrant as UW-Madison students returned to campus for the start of a multi-day residence hall move-in.

They're baaaack! New and returning students filled the parking spots, elevators and hallways of UW-Madison's residence halls during early move-in on Wednesday, August 26. Thousands of students are expected to move into their new homes over the next few days, bringing a certain energy back to our ever-evolving campus. With red carts in tow and help from University Housing student employees (and even some playful distractions from one beloved mascot), Badgers are back where they belong.
