HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - Thousands of students are getting ready to leave the nest this weekend.
Freshmen at Northern Kentucky University and Xavier University are spending Friday morning moving into their new on-campus homes.
At NKU, the class of 2016 will start moving into dorms at 9 a.m.
The freshmen move-in marks the start of 2012 Welcome Week at NKU. New school President Geoffrey Mearns will address freshmen and their families at a convocation Friday. Social events and informational workshops are also scheduled for the next week to make the transition to college easier for the new students.
