My son will be attending Binghamton in the fall and we are trying to decide if he should live in a single room in Dickinson or a double in CIW. All opinions appreciated!
I’m transferring into Binghamton also this coming semester and all my friends say that Dickinson is the best dorm to be at, but also the most competitive. I’d put Dickinson as your first choice and have CIW as a backup for your son.
Honestly, it really depends on what your son prefers in terms of housing style and whether or not he wants a roommate. I personally prefer to live in Dickinson since the buildings are much nicer than CIW, but it is more expensive than CIW. On another note, Dickinson will be harder to get in as a lot of students rank this community as their number one choice when registering for housing. I’m a freshman living in Dickinson, so my answer is biased. Whatever your son gets for next year, I wish him the best of luck!
