New Blood: Penn Freshmen Move In to Penn (VIDEO)

Freshmen and their families pushed, pulled and carried thousands of boxes, bags and carts filled with everything from bedding to cases of bottled water. Penn President Amy Gutmann made her traditional visit to dorms to welcome some of the nearly 2,500 freshmen and their families.

Alumni, remember when you first moved into Penn?

What sort of experience did you have on move-in day?
