The population of the Binghamton area is much bigger these days thanks to the influx of students moving back in at Binghamton University and to off-campus housing.

Move in activities started August 21 and the University is holding its third annual Welcome Week Service Project program with over 100 freshmen volunteering at seven locations around Broome County.

A welcome back party is also planned for on campus.  Shindig at the Fountain is being held at the Harpur Quad.

Classes start for 17,200 students on August 25.
