During the first ever move-in day at Berkel, USM students like Frankie Walburn and Terrell Harper said they were impressed with the new building and looking forward to taking advantage of the residence hall's amenities.
"I like the newer look of the dorm," Walburn said, adding that he put down a deposit on a room as soon as he could. "It has a great new atmosphere."
