An intense school where people work hard and party harder. Very easy to fall through the cracks if you don't keep up with your work. A diverse and extremely accepting environment for all.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do well in high school because it is a challenging school to receive acceptance to. Work hard to develop personal skills and responsibilities before going into college so that you aren't overwhelmed by the many freedoms and liberties.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The ivy of SUNY's, Binghamton is quite challenging in nearly all courses. Take your grades seriously because they are your future and Binghamton is not an easy school. Being someone who never studied for tests in high school, I've never studied more than I have at Binghamton.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are 7 communities on campus and they offer diverse living situations which each offer unique living areas such as hotel style, apartment style, suite style, single, doubles, triples, etc.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Compared to other college's food it is actually pretty good. That being said the overall quality compared to regular food is mediocre at best. There are hours during the day (3-4 PM) where the dining halls offer less options because they are between meals and it is difficult to eat. Over the course of the semester the food options decrease which can make the food very repetitive and make people have a distaste to it. Overall the food isn't terrible but its also not great.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are dozens of clubs, intramural sports, and always countless activities in each living community every week. Also the University sends out an email every day with all of the events taking place that day and for the next few days on campus. Aside from that, partying is a huge part of campus life, while greek life isn't mandatory to party it is still popular. There are always parties going on and the bars are always packed on the weekends. The University's main concern is safety, so as long as they don't see or hear you doing illegal things they won't try to get you in trouble, and they always are more concerned with your safety than anything else.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the quality of education and the party life, you can't find a cheaper University. It's a private school education, party school social life, and SUNY price.
