<p>bump
have the same question as a transfer student=]</p>
<p>Honestly, you are comparing apples and oranges.</p>
<p>Baruch won’t give you a “traditional” college experience. There are no dorms that I am aware of. Almost all the folks commute. Binghamton has dorms and most folks live on campus.</p>
<p>Moreover, Binghamton is known for its liberal arts offerings. They are probably stronger than Baruch in liberal arts.</p>
<p>However, for business and especially accounting and finance, Baruch blows Binghamton away. This is particularly true for the price of tuition. Baruch has a bigger alumni base for business too. </p>
<p>Moreover, Binghamton is well… in Binghamton with nothing to do. Baruch is in Manhattan. It is a great place to go to school. NYC is a very stimulating environment.</p>
<p>Bottom Line: both have VERY different cultures. You need to visit each schools and evaluate the financial costs. Baruch is probably better for business , not to mention less expensive,IF you are willing to give up the “traditional” college experience.</p>
