Move-in day 2017 at the University of Houston

HOUSTON – It's move-in day 2017 for all the new Cougars at the University of Houston. 

Nearly 6,500 students will put all their college essentials in a big plastic bin, say goodbye to mom and dad and begin the campus life. 

Helping them are the "Cougar Movers" all 770 of them, the most ever for University of Houston. 

For students, the butterflies and bewilderment are unavoidable. 

"Feeling great, it's really exciting," freshman Nicholas Infante said. "I've got all my classes, trying to find all my ways around campus, (it's) going to be fun."
