LSU Move-In Day (Source: Brandon Shackelford/WAFB) BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Wednesday is move-in day at LSU, where both incoming freshman and returning students got settled into their new dorm rooms. Parents and student volunteers helped freshman move into their rooms at various halls like Acadian and Blake. Students going into the Ogden Honors College were welcomed by President F. King Alexander at a Picnic in the Laville Courtyard. Some students said they're a little nervous, but still looking forward to college life. "I'm excited to go to football games and everything,” said freshman Bailey Viera , from Gonzales. “I'm by my old high school so I'm definitely gonna look forward to hanging out with old friends and making new friends and everything too."

PROVO — After serving as a portion of the West Missionary Training Center campus for nearly two years, the Raintree Commons apartment complex will be restored as apartments for eager students to lease. In a statement issued by Eric Hawkins, a spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he said, "The Church no longer requires the additional space at the Raintree apartments , which was used to increase the MTC capacity following President Monson's announcement about the change in age for missionaries. We are in the process of returning the property to its pre-lease state."

The rest of the complex will be open for rental in time for the fall semester, about the middle of August. Shelly Freeman , president of S...

The long retail spine of Sydney Road, Brunswick, just north of Melbourne's CBD, was once a prosperous trading outpost on the way to the goldfields. These days it's a bohemian mix of variety stores, op shops, halal butchers and Lebanese bakeries. Take a side street to the west, however, and a different picture emerges. Sandwiched between Sydney Road and the Upfield train line is an area undergoing rapid and widespread transformation. Light industry is fast being replaced by mid- rise apartment buildings , their inhabitants attracted by the short commute into town and cheaper prices than in the city's south-east. The quality of these units is, on the whole, depressingly bad; think poor ventilation and bedrooms that "borrow" natural light (a weasel word for being dark and windowless). The occasional jazzy façade tries feebly to make up for otherwise cheap construction amid a chorus of greys. At ground level, carpark roller doors alternate with mean pocket garden...
