I have enjoyed my time at Binghamton University. I am pursuing medical degree after my undergraduate and have received a lot of support from Binghamton's academic advising to make sure that I am on track. Taking online classes during the pandemic shut down was an interesting way to start my journey at Binghamton University, but they managed to adapt to changing circumstances and deliver impeccable educational content. Binghamton offers many ways to get involved with the research and outreach that the university is engaged in. For example, I am a part of two of the psychological research labs on campus. One thing that I would like to see change at Binghamton is more work opportunities and resources offered to students who are struggling financially. I, like many of my peers, have put myself through school without contribution from family and more economically enriching opportunities would have helped me support myself through my education. Thank you!
My Binghamton experience was fantastic! I met some of the most unique people who encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone - academically and socially. Though many kids partied, there was a ton of fun things to do every night on campus. I engaged in independent research, interned in Binghamton and Washington, DC - and became an undergraduate teaching assistant! I founded a student organization and became involved with student government while holding an on campus job.
I read that current students described Binghamton as "home" - what an excellent description! You don't love every day at college, just like you won't love every day in life. However, you can grow at Binghamton, meet interesting and bright peers and professors, and figure things out. Binghamton is a premier public university, and I feel that it set me on a path to greater success and a curiosity to learn. I am who I am because I attended Binghamton University. Go Bearcats!

As a sophomore I have very few complaints (mainly parking and food, but those are issues on virtually every campus)-- the wifi is surprisingly fast considering our undergrad size, the campus itself is beautiful (and bug-free if you don't live in CIW or the apartments communities), the dorms are great compared to other campuses such as Hamilton, Clarkson, and Lafayette (freshmen can live in any housing community except the apartments) and courses are engaging and challenging. There are plenty of things to do on campus, from attending campus events (which are emailed to you daily) to going to club meetings. We have free movies weekly (free popcorn + sodas provided), free bowling, and in the winter we have free ice skating. Laundry is also free which is great. The only downside to student life is that there isn't much to do off-campus, and frankly it's kind of dangerous to be in Johnson City or Downtown Bing alone. Syracuse and Scranton are an hr drive though!
