Quite a way to start the school year

Usually, everything runs smoothly at West Chester University during the weekend when students move in. This year, however, was a little different. Schmidt Hall, located on the corner of Rosedale Avenue and New Streets, had to be evacuated Sunday. Luckily, it wasn't because of anything major. A student left a curling iron plugged in on a bed, causing a small fire, according to West Chester Fire Chief Mark McCarthy. No one was injured, and the fire was put out in a relatively short amount of time.

I suppose, though, the incident would make for a memorable first weekend at school.
