SUNY at Binghamton Top Questions

I believe that the most frusterating this is the lack of computers for the students.

The professors don't take into consideration that students are taking other classes and the work load is tremendous

The most frustrating thing about my school is registering for courses. The process is very stressful and courses fill up quickly and student's get closed out.

The lack of sidewalks outside of the campus; you can only get around with a car. The food could also deal with some improvement.

The dining service is a monopoly

The Commute home

The other thing that is frustrating for me as a student is the perceived lack of support from the neighboring towns. it seems like sometimes the locals just do not want students in the area.

The campus is very enclosed, so getting to places without a car is very tough, and it is almost impossible to transfer into the school of management if your a liberal arts student.

Many things: TAs grade the exams, and since some classes are large, there are several TAs for each class which leads to unfair grading practices. Some TAs have higher standards than others etc. I also get the feeling that I, as an individual student am not very important to my community. I do not like the surrouding city or the look of the campus itself. There is hostility between the people that live in the city of Binghamton and the students. They don't want us to be able to rent houses off-campus etc.

It is cold and the drearyness of the town takes a semester or two to get used to. Be prepared to want to go home your first few weeks, then be ready to never want to leave after you find your niche.
