Binghamton lives up to its prestigious reputation. Attending Binghamton, you get the chance to experience a small community within a large school thanks to the various dorm communities on campus. Best four years of my life.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Buy a raincoat and rain boots.
Take it seriously but take the time to relax and unwind.
Make the most of the opportunities you come across.
Get involved!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It's tough, but not impossible. I never found it competitive in my experience, but I hear that the premed majors can be. Study and do your work and you should be fine. Since the classes are 4 credits instead of the traditional three, you only need 4 classes to take 16 credits a semester.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Instead of the typical dorms at most schools, Binghamton has 5 Communites: Hinman, Dickinson, Newing, Mountainview, and College-In-The-Woods. These communities consist of multiple residential halls and each has their own distinctive look and traditions.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining halls are okay. There are a lot of options (and a lot of dining halls) to choose from. A brand new food court just opened and it blows everything else away. Fantastic.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Get involved! So many cool, unique, and fulfilling clubs/organizations/causes to join. There are a lot of activities that go on in Downtown Binghamton, such as parades, art festivals, bar crawls, and minor league hockey and baseball games.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Ivy league worthy education for a public school price.
