I absolutely love Binghamton University! There are constant events going on all day on or off campus, lots of resources to find financial assistance, mental assistance, or academic assistance. I love spring at Binghamton, its just beautiful and sunny. I have met my closest friends here and I love them so much.

Overall, my time at Binghamton University has been good. All I can say is positive regarding housing, meals, social life in college, academics, and campus life. In terms of academics, there are numerous majors and minors to select from as well as a plethora of alternatives and pathways leading to your ideal job. Binghamton offers a variety of services to assist you in choosing your course in life, and their tools are typically extremely beneficial. Both housing and food are generally excellent and provide a variety of options for accommodation and food. The campus and social scene on Bing are incredibly varied, and a plethora of clubs and organizations support the development of a positive campus and social environment.

Binghamton experience was different as a transfer student. I felt like the school was already had there groups. Making friends and finding people were hard. Attending programs I was nervous to talk always left early because everyone was already coming in with there friends. I loved the school and the events once I did connect with others who were transfer students. The food is great! Nightlife is a plus! From the professors I had were always accessible.
