Great Beginnings

Starting Friday, August 16, 2024

We are excited to welcome you to the Racer family! Join in on all the fun events we have planned to kick off the new school year on campus! From t-shirt swaps to movie nights to escape rooms, there's something for everyone. It's a great time to meet new friends and make memories that will last a lifetime. Let's make this year the best one yet!

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 from the Residence Halls to Steward 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.
