Many of the new Wright State freshmen moving in today will have been born about 1995. Therefore, we have decided to take a Throwback Thursday look at Move-In Day 1995, as told by the WSU Guardian student newspaper.
Note the article on page 4 that this was the “largest ever” move-in day with 2,200 on-campus residents. (We currently have over 3,000 on-campus residents, according to the Office of Residence Services.)
