Last weekend, 4,700 students – most leaving home for the first time – will move en masse into campus housing, heralding the start of another school year. Before classes begin on Sept. 27, all Anteaters are encouraged to participate in Welcome Week, when a bustling Aldrich Park comes alive with an involvement fair, an outdoor showing of “Incredibles 2” and an attempt to set a Guinness world record for the largest game of balloon tag. It’s a chance to make new friends and catch up with old ones before getting down to the serious business of academic achievement. Here are some fun facts about freshmen, food and this week’s flurry of activities. 4,700 new Anteaters moving in; 367 moving bins provided for students to use during move-in weekend; 80 percent of incoming freshmen live on campus; 480 beds to be added to Middle Earth in 2019; 10 student housing communities; 20,000 meals served during move-in weekend in the Anteatery; Anteaters' favorite foods: Oscar's tacos, ice cream, omelets, ceviche; Did you know? We're green 'Eaters; 97% of food waste is recycled at the Anteatery and Pippin dining facilities; 794 tons of food waste are composted annually; Welcome Week activities include Anteaters set world records: 4,000 students expected to participate in the world's largest game of balloon tag on Sept. 26; Screen on the Green
