At my school it seems you may find people of all ethnicities, backgrounds, and cultures. I love it because each person I come into contact with has something positive to offer me, whether it is a new friend, classmate, or professor. Professors here want you to succeed. It's not like stories I've heard from other universities, where professors are tough and are not flexible. Students here are expected to uphold their responsibilies, and professors appreciate that they do.

What is unique about this school is the friendly and accepting community. it is easy to make friends and people are not judgemental.

Binghamton University strives to meet the needs of all of its students. It is one out of very few schools that have a student association that is ran entirely by Binghamton students. This evinces that the school is a major supporter of its students and really strive towards making this a comfortable, safe, and fun place for all.

All the rain that we get.

Binghamton is amazing, 'nuff said. You should apply here. And then go here.

It's a very friendly learning environment. While you're on campus you can either focus on studying or doing extracurricular activities. Although Binghamton is located in a rural area, it offers its student a wide range of activity to keep them busy and entertained.

It's kind of hard to get a sense of Binghamton (or any school, really) just from reading a review. Come visit!

The enviornment of this school that allow students experiencing in hiking, researching for bees, dears, and so on. People here come from all over the world, and there are late night events, various activities holded on campus. If you are off campus, there are museum all open for free at the beginning of each month on Friday. There are faculties, speakers, singers, performers, and dancers, come from other Universities or orther countries. Students studying at Binghamton University are welcome to participate. Some of the events are free to students. Off-campus housing are cheap and good qualities.

I think that the most unique thing about Binghamton is its student population. The school is located a convenient distance from NYC, as well as from major cities upstate, so people are coming here from all over, including New Jersey, Conneticut, and the most random states like Miami! There are also plenty of international students. With this eclectic mixture, people get along really well, learning much about all the cultures surrounding them. The school is also just the right size, big enough to find your own groups of friends but not so big that you get lost in the crowd.

Binghamton University provides so many helpful resources for their students. The Career Development Center, Educational Opportunity Program, McNair Scholars Program, XCEL (Center for Student Leadership), Latenite (free activities and events all weekend long for students who prefer to stay on campus), and free tutoring at the various libraries that can be found around campus are only a few of the things Binghamton University provides its students. In comparison to many other colleges, the quality and cost of education, services provided, and the experience overall is one of the best values a student pursuing a college education can find.

Binghamton was really large, but divided its on-campus housing into different "communities". The idea was to create a college-within-a-college feeling, and to make everyone feel more at home. However, I was always super busy, so I was never around for events. My suite referred to me as the "absentee" roommate (we lived in College In The Woods). There were also one or two extremely unique majors--which, interestingly, I didn't even end up majoring in.

They allow you to create your own major combining several majors to make a major that is just right for you. They give you an advisor from each of the departments that have something to do with the major you want to create and together, you and the professor come up with requirements and classes that would fufill what you want to learn and gain from the school while helping you move towards your goal carreer.

A lot of people I know want to or has transferred out. If you like to party and don't want too much work then go ahead, you'll probably love Bing, but if you're more like the studious and chilled type, Bing isn't for you.
I'm going pre-med and the Chem. workload is pretty crazy. Lab, lab report, quiz/test EVERY week. There's also online HW that's due every or every other week. If you're going to go pre-med, it gets pretty hectic.
The food here sucks...unfortunately.
Jennifer
Its great value.
Greg
The most unique thing about Binghamton is the way the city is separated from the campus, it allows for students to get two completely different experiences throughout their college life. I consider both of these different lifestyles very important and i don't think there are many other colleges that can compare.
Laurie
It is located in upstate New York near plenty of mountains/nature preserves to hike and ski/snowboard.
Danielle
There is an off campus bilding located in our down town city. They moved the school of community and public affairs to this location so the students could work and volunteer in the surrounding area. The volunteer work was nearby the building.
Jordana
My school has a large and vibrant Jewish community which is important to me.
