SUNY Binghamton

College Search & Selection

<p>Hello everyone:</p>

<p>I recently got accepted to SUNY Binghamton, and I sent my deposit. I also applied to Penn State, UMD College Park, and American University. I really like PSU but it's twice the cost of Bing (considering I'm a NY resident).</p>

<p>Although I liked Binghamton when I visited it in October, I have my doubts. There is no football team, from what I've heard a severe lack of school spirit, and there are many negative reviews on studentsreview.com. Is anyone else here a high school senior debating whether or not to go to Binghamton? Anyone currently a student at Binghamton that can offer me their opinion on the negative things I've heard?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Depending upon your interests..... and what you are looking for.
Penn State is a great combo of social/academics. It also has a higher peer assessment, ranking and many more positives for state universities.</p>

<p>PS. Check out Princeton Review rankings, US News and other rankings and you will see that Binghamton's reputation for academics and social life has much room for improvement. If $$$ is a high priority Binghamton is a good alternative. With the taxes NYers pay, they should have better undergrad schools or at least 1 top notch university.
Binghamton is known primarily in NY. Penn State is a national or shall I say international university.</p>
