Students began moving to campus on Aug. 20. Boxes and suitcases filled with mementos and dorm-room essentials flooded the floors of UNLV's four residential hall complexes. More than 1,700 students will live on campus this year. They come from across the U.S. and 26 foreign countries. Whether you're living on campus or commuting here, UNLV has tons of events planned to make your college experience a memorable one. Don't miss Premier UNLV, an annual concert and fireworks festival. -- Afsha Bawany
