Drake students and families help first-year students move into Drake’s dorms.

No matter how old you are, you can remember the first time you left home. Drake first year students and their families share their thoughts with Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Dave Peterson as they begin their Drake experience. Dave captures the emotion, the fun and the beauty of the Drake campus on move-in day.

First-year students and their families express delight at the $10 million renovations of Crawford and Stalnaker and Morehouse Residence Halls. By next fall, Drake will have renovated all of its residence halls and opened a new development with Hubbell Realty Co. providing apartment-style housing for upper-class students and graduate student on the west side of campus.
