SUNY at Binghamton Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at SUNY at Binghamton accurate?

Andy

More than not, but you will find unintelligent people and those that are active. You can find any type of group/person if you're looking for it. Every college is a party school. Students are interested in learning.

Alex

Yes, although the campus is much more diverse than just that.

Jen

YES

Allie

Yes

Elliot

absolutely not

Rachel

There is definitely a lot to do in the town you just have to find things for yourself. And yes, there are a lot of people from long island, and many of the girls are stereotypical long island girls.

Tristan

The stereotypes are far from accurate because the courses in this school are difficult and you can see it from the students effort and time taken to study and they are still disatisfired at times by their grades. Science and pyschology are very diffcult in this school and a lot of students decide to take it in another school and transfer the credits. Now party wise, yes we do party but I never let it interfere with my school work, I have above a 3.0 GPA.

Yes, these groups make up a large part of the binghamton university community.

David

Both aren't true. The high school stereotype is because BU is in such high demand among New York state students, so a lot of people from home will go here if you are from New York. But, there are close to 14,000 student here. If you don't want to see your high school friends, don't. As for the city itself, there are parts that aren't so pretty, but every city has that. In fact, Binghamton is rich in culture and ranges from a metropolitan center to suburban shopping mecca, depending on where you are.

sometimes but it is not a bad thing to go to a school that saves you money
