SUNY at Binghamton Top Questions

It is very cold and snows a lot.

The worst thing about Binghamton is the weather during the end of the fall semster and start of the spring semester. It begins snowing as early as Halloween and continues through March and sometimes April. Along with the snow comes wind, and sometimes the "feels like" temperature drops to -25 degrees Fahrenheit. It is very easy to get wind burn or in severe cases, frost bite.

The worst thing about SUNY Binghamton is it's lack of competitive sports teams that bring us up to the level of Syracuse, for example.

nothing

All the students are very competitive because most students want to be doctors or engineers.

There is not much to do in the area on the weekends

The seasonal changes tend to be one of the University’s biggest downfalls. Due to the excess amount of rain and snow a lot of students tend to adjust their attitudes to the gloomy weather. This consequently affects mood, academics, and the social life of many students.

Our school has a lot of diversity but I feel like that a lot of people are not that culutrally aware. Our school tries to host events that bring people together and raise cultural awareness of different cultures and ethnicties, but the events are only attended by those who are of that culture/ethnctiy the event pertains to. I think there is still a lot to be done and students should be abe to feel at home no matter what culture/ethnicity they are.

The weather is the worst thing about this school, although that is out of their control. Also, I have had some horrible professors who had zero interest in the students and whether they were doing well or not. They mocked the classes for not being smart enough when they taught them nothing.

In the surrounding town, there did not seem like much do on the weekends.

The weather is the worst thing about Binghamton since it really affect one's mood.

It is so cold, and the food can be bad at times. There is a cheating issue, but every college deals with that. There is diversity, but you find that people still cluster around, the asian internationals stick together and the Long Islanders as well. The school is 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Long Islanders. There is not much to do on the weekends except goto the frat parties.

One thing that I consider to be the worst thing about SUNY Binghamton is the academic adivising department. Many of the advisors are in fact very knowledgeable, though some are very vague and a bit unhelpful. There are a ton of classes available on this campus and accurate descriptions are hard to come by. There tends to be a lack of communication between academic advising and the actual major departments. Confusion and difficulty is almost always involved when it comes to credits and class scheduling.

The worst thing is my school is not having some type of undeground path for harsh weathers, Also limited number of printers, staplers and other resources.

The food!! No variety outside of the dining halls.

The weather is not so good. And Binghamton city is not very safe.

I think the worst thing would be that they allow incoming freshmen to declare a major because these students have not had the time to adapt to college life and their interests will change after spending just one year away from home. They are likely to change their major at least once during their college career.

The worst thing about Binghamton is the lack of individualized attention. As an undecided freshman, I have had trouble finding a person who can assist me in signing up for classes and working towards discovering a major. It is difficult for me to find someone who has time to sit down with me and talk about my concerns when there are so many students and so few advisors. It seems like they want everyone to know what they want to major in if they want to receive assistance. I find this unrealistic and unhelpful.

The people aren't all that smart, even though it's considered one of the state's top schools. Uh-oh New York.

The worst aspect of Binghamton University is the weather, the cold temperatures and high winds that make life in December, January, and February very difficult. The weather is bearable, but can be very detrimental to outdoor activities for some period of time..\
