PEORIA, Ill. — Bradley University students will be back on campus this weekend.
BU’s Move-In begins with returning students on Friday, August 20 at 9 a.m.
“And, on Saturday (August 21), our first-year students move in. So, that’s where the bulk of the activity comes,” Bradley Spokesperson Renee Charles said.
People that live near the Bradley campus, and those driving through the area Friday and Saturday, should expect some delays both days.
“The streets in that area, some of them will be rerouted. And, there will be some changes in traffic patterns,” Charles said.
Not only will there be a lot of students mulling around on move-in day, there will be parents and extra vehicles around the BU campus.
Saturday’s Move-In will bring the bulk of Bradley University students. It is expected to last until at least 3-4 p.m.
