VCU Freshmen Move-In Chaos & Welcome Events | Richmond News

Virginia Commonwealth University is welcoming nearly 6,000 new students this weekend as the Class of 2030 moves in — with strict schedules, moving carts, and traffic control to keep things running smoothly. Families are urged to stay calm, unloading cars in 15-minute zones before heading to parking decks, while students check in solo to grab keys. VCU Police are on high alert to manage traffic jams and keep everyone safe, reminding drivers and walkers to put phones away. After unloading, families can stay on campus until 8 PM to meet roommates and soak in the vibe. This move-in kicks off “Weeks of Welcome,” a month-long celebration packed with over 100 events — from convocation to block parties and org fairs — designed to help newbies thrive. It’s chaos, yes — but also the thrilling start of something big. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
