CORVALLIS, Ore. - Oregon State University will host its main day of new resident move-in on Sunday, Sept. 20, for students living in on-campus university housing.

More than 3,500 residents are expected to arrive Sunday, many with family and friends. Increased traffic and congestion are expected around campus.  More than 500 campus and community volunteers will help with move-in.

In addition, about 500 international student residents arrived earlier on Sept. 14-15, in time for new international student orientation. That and a steady trickle of other early arrivals will mean that about 1,000 additional residents will be in place on campus before the main move-in day on Sunday.

New this year, on-campus residents will enjoy several upgrades in their dining experience, including the use of reusable takeout containers, that will save an estimated 600,000 one-use containers from going to the landfill.

Other changes include late-night food delivery services that students can order using their meal plan; and a new restaurant, named Five Four One, in McNary Dining Center that features local, natural and vegan and vegetarian foods.
