PHOTOS: Bentley University Class of 2020 Moves In

WALTHAM, MA – This week, 1,300 freshmen moved into Bentley University, contending with a mounting hybrid of butterflies and excitement as they prepare to begin their higher education experience.

Bentley President Gloria Larson was on hand to meet incoming freshmen as they unloaded their cars and moved into their residence halls, and school mascot Flex the Falcon lived up to his name by helping students carry their belongings to their rooms.

The move-in was capped by a convocation ceremony, during which Larson addressed all first-year students and their families.

Take a look at scenes from Bentley's move-in day below.
