Apart from the emotional toll of the week, students needed to find time to empty their dorms and pack up their belongings on an unexpectedly quick timeline. Here are photos taken in the rushed and frantic moving-out process.
Mid-packing morning

Dumpster diving
Outside of Haines Hall, Abby Doudna `20 and Destiny Magnett `22 sit on a couch in a dumpster brought to make room for students’ hastily discarded stuff.
Dorm mid-move
The chaos of campus can be felt in the clutter of McKenna Doherty `22 and Mary Binzley `22’s Loose double as they pack up their belongings.
Main Quad storage
Main Quad transforms into an emergency storage space to ease the overflowing trunk rooms. As the space filled, students were instructed to leave their belongings boxed and labeled in their rooms to be moved to storage later.
Moving out of Read
Ella Mullin and Clare Roarty, both `22, share a bittersweet glance as they bid farewell to their beloved dorm on Read 3rd, arms full of the last few items from their room.

Emptied single
Audrey Boyle, Conner Stanfield and Ahon Gooptu (left to right), all `21, lounge in Stanfield’s empty Clark Pit single immediately before he left for his flight home. “Also you can see I have bangs in this photo ‘cause I couldn’t even wait for everyone to leave before I had to cut my bangs,” wrote Boyle.
Leaving Food House
