HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) — Home is a lot quieter for Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey, now that four of their septuplets have gone away to college.

The Hannibal Courier-Post reports that Joel, Nathan, Kelsey and Natalie McCaughey moved into their dorm rooms this week at Hannibal-LaGrange University in the northeast Missouri town of Hannibal.

The small Baptist-affiliated university offered scholarships to all seven of the Iowa children soon after they were born on Nov. 19, 1997. Bobbi McCaughey had taken a fertility drug. They are the world’s first surviving septuplets. The family also has a 20-year-old daughter.

Two of the septuplets, Alexis and Kenneth, are staying close to home and attending Des Moines Area Community College. And Brandon joined the military.

All seven graduated in May from Carlisle High School.
