SUNY at Binghamton Top Questions

Intelligent people in their own right. A lot of jewish people, everybody is from near the city. Not as cold or snowy as buffalo or syracuse, not upstate, near PA

There are always cases that match sterotypes, but for the most part they are false

-It's true, greeks hang out with greeks, Asians with asians, sports teams with sports teams...you must find your niche to have a great time at Bing. -Most of the time, it does seem like everyone went to the same high school... but you. -For the most part this is true, but I'm brown and all of my friends are white.

mostly

Yest, but the student body is far too diverse (for a school in upstate NY, anyways) and large to make definite stereotypes.

Majority of the people from Newing are.

While townies seem to be more prevalent in Binghamton than in most other towns that people are used to, they are certainly not the norm. Also, Binghamton is close to a few other towns and is actually located in Vestal, which is a much more affluent town. With a Jewish population of 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}, the Jew from Long Island stereotype is pretty accurate.

These are not stereotypes.

I would definitely say we're not a huge party school, but in no way are we "quiet". It's a good environment to stay focused in. As for the Jewish/Asian part, no, we're actually really diverse. And hippies? You could definitely find your "hippies" on campus, but not EVERYONE is like that--not at all.

Both are somehwat accurate. Everyone I know here has hated it here at some point, but the soon grow to love it or leave before they give it a proper chance. It doesnt rain that much up here, at least i havent experienced that much rain.

Actually, yes, they are pretty accurate.

Yes.

its accurate if you let it be. as with everything in life, what you do is up to you, as long as you make the decision to be a certain way, you can be like that. so yes its true if you want it to be. but it can be false as well.

Yes, they are both very true.

There are definitely a lot of people from Long Island but they certainly aren't the majority, the same goes for Asians. The school does have strong science programs. It is definitely a party school. Binghamton is not my favorite city, that's for sure. It definitely is the premier public university in the Northeast. If you're not going to an Ivy League school, then it's the next best option.

It depends on who you know, what you like to do, and if youre an athlete or in a frat. Not true. They're cool.

to an extent
