College life will be busy for Liv Mothershead. She’s moving into her new dorm room at Edens Hall during “Move-in Weekend” at Western Washington University in Bellingham.

“I’m excited!” she says. “It’ll be tight. Me and my roommates have a lot of stuff.” 

Mothershead is a sophomore majoring in education while working on a minor in German. 

But she and 2,700 other students are moving into a new environment filled with deep budget cuts this year.
