TAMPA - Move-in week began Wednesday at The University of Tampa. It is one of the busiest days of the year on campus. On Wednesday alone, approximately 2,000 new students moved into one of 12 residence halls on campus. A total of 5,000 students will be moved in by Sunday.

What we know:

Students are assisted by their friends, family, loved ones and Week of Welcome volunteers.

Freshman Spartans are excited to be living on campus. Olivia Mormann, a UTampa first-year student, said, "I love the campus and I love all the opportunities they have, being around the city and I think it’s beautiful, and I’m excited."

For some, it's a young adult’s first time on their own. Olivia’s mom, Audrey Mormann expressed her emotions, "I’m very sad to have my first two leave the nest."
