Towson vs. SUNY Binghamton

<p>Younger son wants to hear from USC and UT Dallas before making final decision. Of the 4 acceptances, I think Towson is top choice (but we did not see Binghamton and really did not give Binghamton a fair chance).</p>

<p>But does your son really want to give Binghamton a fair chance? Ask him. He may not want to spend more energy on it.</p>

<p>Here’s a link to the Binghamton Career Development Center and their spring job/internship fair booklet.

<p>I think I remember you mentioning your S has an Asperger’s diagnosis. I believe both schools can serve him academically and I might suggest you both focus on the support system/dorm situation that will best meet his needs. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for posting these job/internship fair booklets. </p>

<p>Towson has a specialist on staff who works with Asperger’s students and was really impressed. </p>

<p>I greatly appreciate all the feedback and think we are going to pass on Binghamton. I still think it sounds like a great school, but the difficulty of transferring into the School of Management is a major concern. If my son ultimately decides on Accounting, he is better off at a school like Towson where you can more easily get into the Accounting major.</p>
