Moving in to your Residence Hall

Moving to campus is an exciting time at Murray State, but it can be a little overwhelming the first time. We'll have faculty, staff, and student volunteers to help you with the heavy stuff and the Racer Shuttle will be running to and from the Residence Halls and Stewart Stadium.

Review the video to get a view of traffic flow so you can plan ahead and check the schedule to find out when you'll be moving in.
