<p>First of all thank to those who answered my last post. Ok, now I want to know which major bank companys in walking distance from the campus? Theres no M&T
bank near where I live.</p>
<p>Oh, also how is the cell phone signal in the campus? Specifically for T-mobile..</p>
<p>Thanks to those who answer</p>
<p>there is a m&t bank in the campus, its in the new union, so dont worry its not off campus, so its very convinient. i have t-mobile and to tell u the truth, its not the best service in the world, for example, one time it was raining and i was under my umbrella and the service was bad. and the times wen im on the bus heading to new york city, im without service for about 1 hr or more.</p>
<p>Hi, would you happen to know if most students in the dorms share a dorm refrig & microwave , or do the students generally just have their own small refrig.
Also, I was curious if tv are shared usually or if students use the new tv tuners with their laptops. Thanks very much</p>
<p>well im not sure if everyone in the dorms shared a frige and microwave, but from what i saw, i noticed that it was 50-50. some people shared their friges and microwaves with their room mate/s. Some people had their own and didnt share with their room mate. in my case, my room mate and i shared a microwave which i brought, and a frige that we both bought together,(she ended up taking cuz we're not gonna be room mates anymore in the fall, so she gave me back what i had payed). i also shared a tv with my room mate, which i brought, tv's are one of the few things that room mates have 2 of, so they actually do share the tv. i had a friend who didnt get along with her room mate, and she actually had to get a tv for herslef. it was kind of wierd actually cuz both of them ended up having wars and arguing on why the other always put the volume high on purpose lol</p>
<p>But does anyone know if any other major banks other than M&T Bank walking distance from the campus? Like CitiBank, HSBC, Bank of america, chase... so on?
I want to access my account both from my hometown and binghamton. Theres no M&T bank near where I live. Thanks</p>
<p>For Cell Phone service.. T-Mobile is decent because they have a network tower on top of Binghamton's library tower. However, I would still say Verizon is the best cell phone service in Binghamton. Primarily because with T-Mobile you don't really get service in the residential halls, only outside. so when it gets cold in the winter your not going to want to go outside and make a phone call. I prefer Verizon in the Binghamton area, but it depends on what your options are.</p>
<p>Secondly for banking...the only bank on campus is M&T Bank. Now there are other banks in the Binghamton area, but none of them are really in walking distance. There are HSBC banks and I think a Bank of America close to campus, but you would probably need to take a bus because the walk can be upwards of 30-45 minutes. The problem with the campus at Binghamton is that you can't really walk to anywhere offcampus because it would take too long...unless you visit the stores adjacent to the campus. </p>
<p>I was fortunate to have an M&T Bank in my neighborhood freshmen year, so I just opened up an account through them. Most of my friends freshmen year, however, just kept their Bank of America or HSBC accounts and just withdrew money from the M&T Bank ATMs on campus. There usually is a $1-2 fee for that withdrawal, but its a nice convenience to keep your same account with whatever previous bank you were using. </p>
<p>Currently, Im living offcampus this year at bing so I will be using HSBC for my banking options. Let me know if you have any other questions.</p>
<p>The question were basically answered above...</p>
<p>I'd just like to add</p>
<p>I have a t-mobile sidekick 3 and the service indoors is HORRIBLE no calls at all indoors, as previously stated, but outdoors is good...</p>
