SUNY at Binghamton Top Questions

I have been living and studying in Binghamton for three years and I love it. I am currently doing my masters in Geography at BU. I believe Binghamton is a good place to study and work in the academic field, such as teaching. It is also a very good environment to raise a family.

i love bing, because despite the weather and the classes that u sometimes hate it is just a great place to be. i have amazing friends and i just have so much fun with them. its all about making an experience for yourself no matter who you are. and no matter what type of person you are you can find something that interests you and people who share your interests. i think bing is a great place for someone who is stuck in the middle, because the options are endless and nothing is overwhelming.

I enjoy BU and recommend it to many people. I just don't suggest being an RA, its fun but the administration is full of adults with sticks up their ass' who don't understand teenagers anymore.

Always too much to do, if you like frats they are here, there are lots of minority groups, jewish african american asian, whatever. Weather is crapy, but if you want to have fun there is the Ale House, bunch of bars downtown, bowling places that are like 10cents a game, frat partys, lots of things. If you dont like drinking or its not important, late nite binghamton is in the union they put a lot of money in to buying all these cool things that very few people use because they got rid of on campus drinking. Best thing about Binghamton is 24/7 anywhere in binghamton, if you have 3 or more people, the cabs are all 3 dollars each, (was 2$ when I was a freshman 4 years ago) Bottom of the line is, if they had a bar in the union, it would cut way back on drunk driving and make their late nite activites more accessible to people with a college life style......

Lots of people don't give the school the credit it deserves because the weather sucks (it rains/snows 11 months out of the year and we're not there for the good month), but I'm going back for grad school so it must be doing something right

Really fun school with good academics

Weather can get you down, amazing people can make it better. Sports are fun and interesting. Intramurals are awesome. A lot of international people but mostly all of them are really cool and nice with awesome life experiences. Good experience and place as long as your are not high maintenance or expecting binghamton to be NYC

I love Binghamton!!!!!!!

Kill your television.

The dorms here are really nice (well, for dorms). They're carpeted and the furniture gives you a lot of space for everything. There are plenty of drawers, shelves, closet space, and space under the bed if you have bed risers.

Come here. I have only begun to realize all the options I have, and I plan on using them a lot more next year. This is a really good school. And you can have a lot of fun, too. You will learn a lot about so many things.

Bing's cool.

i covered it...

Good school for the money but if you are any type of intelligent teenager you may be extremely disapointed, acts as a safety school for most people, I'm not sure too many people want to be here

not really. Binghamton rocks!

I hated my time here, except meeting about two close friends. But they also hate it here. If you're not jewish, from long island, in a sorority, an asshole, or a bitch....good luck finding a good social group!

People love to bash the weather here and say that Binghamton is cold and rainy. They're just exaggerating. College kids love to do that. The weather here is pretty normal for New York, but when it rains everyone loves to say, "Gotta love Binghamton weather!"

Binghamton is an awful place if you're looking to experience more than just academia. Like I said, there's nothing to do besides drink, and you won't get the real experiences you want. There aren't many volunteering opportunities, especially if you don't have a car, and there aren't many cultural activities you can get involved in.

If you suffer from seasonal affect disorder, don't come here. If you hate jappy girls, don't come here. If you are not self motivated in school, don't come here, they will NOT hold your hand or spoon feed you anything. If you want a great education for cheap, COME here, if you are sick of your homogeneous high school, COME here, there is a lot to do, but the weather sucks! There is a fun lake beach that many people don't even know about, it is man made with sand and set in a mountain about 15 min away (you need a car to get there.) Although I said more negative than positive, I enjoyed my time here, and I just want people to be aware of what I was NOT aware of coming in!
