Due to an increase in covid-19 cases in the area.

Area college students are also returning to class soon.

Students are now moving into their dorms at indiana state university.

The "move-in" process is spread out over more days this year so fewer people are gathering at one place and time.

Each student had a move-in time to allow for social distancing.

They sanitized big bins used for loading up their stuff... a member of "residence life" made sure everyone was taking the necessary precautions.

"trying to just really minimize the time people are spending indoors in our res halls passing by each other, trying to stay six feet apart as much as possible."

I-s-u move-in will continue all this week.

School starts tuesday, august 18th.

I-s-u students and their families say safety measures have eased some -- but not all -- of their concerns.

Some of the changes this year include mandating masks be worn everywhere on campus... and reducing classroom capacity by an average of 50-percent.

Even with those measures in place... people say they have mixed emotions.

"i am concerned as any parent should be but i know that this is something she desparately needs and this is something very valuable she can take with her for the rest of her life."

"i feel like everything is just going to be dead, like, theres not going to be much student social life at all.

I feel like its gone be strickly class."

I-s-u will have an online covid-19 questionnaire for students... faculty...
