Undergraduate attendance this year is expected to be about 1,850, 375 of whom are freshman, Fulford said. The campus also expects to enroll 1,000 graduate students. The student body will meet this morning at 10 a.m. at Samuelson Chapel for the annual Opening Convocations. ``This is the fun time, the first days,'' Fulford said. ``Students are greeting each other, and they don't have any tests yet. They don't have to hit the books because they're still buying books.'' Teeter said these beginning days are special because they will be his last at the school. ``I'm looking forward to my last year. It's been a lot of fun,'' he said. ``And it's cool to see all your friends again.'' CAPTION(S): 3 photos Photo: (1 -- color) Senior Jessica Nierod is all smiles on the first day of classes.
