<p>I have heard many different things about Binghamton. Some people consider it a "public-ivy". Some people I've talked to consider it a safety school (at least before this admissions year). Within NY I seem to get mixed reviews, but any school that has good academics and 27k applicants for 2k spots must have an excellent reputation, no?</p>
<p>Please comment!!!</p>
<p>Binghamton is one of the best “value” schools. It has good (maybe great depending on how much effort the individual puts in, but thats anywhere) academics at a great price (for instate and possbily OOS, but I don’t know about OOS…). It has a lot to offer and it is not a safety school. Trust me, too many great students apply (economy problems or not) for it to be just a safety school.
“Public Ivy” is a possibly adequate description depedning on how the student utilizes all the Bing has to offer.
In essence, Bing is one of the best public universities and a great university period.
I can’t wait to go!</p>
<p>Thanks! (bump)</p>
<p>I got accepted to the Watson School of Engineering but am not that familiar with its prestige and academics, does anyone know?</p>
<p>btw this year seems very selective for Binghamton, a lot of kids in my school got wait listed or rejected.</p>
