<p>I got accepted to both BU and UB for Fall 2013 and I am still having a hard time choosing which school to attend. I will major in Biology and minor in English. </p>
<p>Which is the better ALL-AROUND university considering academic specifically the sciences, location, surrounding city, diversity, size, campus life/social life, athletics, and party scene????</p>
<p>Which school would be all around the best choice in your opinion? Thank you :)</p>
<p>All-around Binghamton is better. Buffalo is better for engineering. If you are biology then definitely Binghamton as it is the most prestigious SUNY school.</p>
<p>Binghamton does not have an English minor.</p>
<p>It seems like Binghamton isn’t really science-based, and is much better for business/marketing and social sciences. </p>
<p>Party scene and campus/social life are probably better at Buffalo, athletics/diversity are about the same, Binghamton has 12k undergrads and Buffalo has 19k. Both have commuters but Bing is definitely more residential. </p>
<p>It’s hard to compare the all-around academics since Binghamton is much better for business/marketing and Buffalo is much better for Sciences/Engineering. If you are doing pre-med and can stand the cold, I would go for Buffalo. They have their own medical school I believe and you would be more likely to get medical internships and stuff like that.</p>
<p>Do not discount Binghamton sciences - they have very good profs and grad school placements. Bing engineering is smaller and fairly new, so no critical mass of accomplished grads. Not so with the sciences.</p>
<p>Thank you !</p>
<p>What did you end up choosing? I was in the same position, thinking about a biology or neuroscience (only at Bing) major. I ended up choosing Bing, just paid my deposit!</p>
