Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Economics  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I think that Binghamton was great for character building. It was nice and sunny the first week that you went back as well as the last week you left for the summer; in between the raindrops and the dreary setting, you really found out who you were and what you were about. I made life long friendships there and I can't believe that the people who I used to go sneaking cases of beer into the dorms with, are now happily married with kids. When you first get there it’s hard to find your way around campus, and being around so many people in you exact same point in life is encouraging and exciting. This latter point is one of the things I will miss most about Binghamton and college; its kind of the last time that we are all on the same page. The classes were somewhat challenging and a few stick out in my mind, but for me Binghamton more of a learning experience as a person. Can I go out every night and still do well in class? Do I want to build myself up intellectually or physically? Do I have enough time to do all these diametrically opposed things? When I think about the fact that I was able to say yes to all these questions all at once, it puts a grin on my face. That's college I guess; freedom that you will spend the rest of your life reminiscing about. Starting Job: AVP -Product Control HSBC, Preparedness: D+, Reputation: B- Have a Question?

The orientation was disorganized and not worth the money. There is a lot of racial tension and a lot of sterotypes that prevent people to act in a normal manner, not to mention the town is in really bad shape and is also racist. I transfer into the school and am transferring right back out. Oh yea, and the town and campus is haunted by native indians (im sensitive to the spirits and the ghost stories i heard just confirmed my feelings). Its easy to get depressed up there because the weather is always cold and gloomy when school is in session. People have no manners and will allow the door to be slammed in your face and they look right through you and act like your invisable. This school needs to get it together! But hey, its cheap and the academics are good. But you get what you pay for! Scholastic Success: B+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

Binghamton has pretty much everything but a football team. If you are the quiet type and like to be alone, you'd be fine. If you enjoy going out occasionally and have a small group of friends, you'd be fine. If you like big parties and having a vast amount of friends, you'd also be fine. Personally I'm the type that enjoys having a great time. I go out to parties and to the bars at least 4 times a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays in Binghamton are almost as popular as Fridays and Saturdays, it doesn’t hurt to go out on the occasional Wednesday either. Being an economics major it is easy to explain your GPA by opportunity cost. 24 hours in a day, figure 8 to sleep (even though that RARELY is the case for everyone EVERY night) and 3 hours for all eating and "bathroom needs." In your other 13 hours of the day, if you devote them all to school work; you will easily have a 4.0. If they are all devoted to partying and not studying or doing work you will probably be in the 0.0-1.0 range. According to your studying/sleeping/partying schedule you can probably figure out your own GPA. Personally, after 1 full year (2 semesters), I have a 3.0, given its not that good and absolutely could be better, I make my choices and would rather have a good time and go out more often. My school work consists of studying for finals and finals only, and doing whatever homework and papers assigned during the semesters. All the people who have negative comments probably didn’t get what they wanted. Maybe they wanted to be a part of Greek life and weren’t accepted or didn’t get a bid, or simply didn’t get what they expected out of college. They are people who can’t adapt to their surroundings. If you don’t like change, can’t make your place, are easily influenced and simply being yourself, DON’T COME. I hate people who say they hate to conform to a certain surrounding but if you think about it, everyone conforms. If you go out, just be yourself, talk to people, you WILL find people that are like you and have a great group of friends. The only problem that I have is that it could be bigger. Having an extra 5,000-10,000 students and a football team couldn’t hurt. The school is having a lot of work done and is making many improvements and will be a reputable place, probably once I graduate. Scholastic Success: A, Useful Schoolwork: C Have a Question?

However, the campus (in general) is pretty poorly laid out, parking is less than desirable, and the Harpur school dean's office has less than efficient means to notify students that any withdrawal paperwork has been processed. As a matter of fact, they DON'T notify anyone that ANY of their paperwork has been processed. Education Quality: A-, Social Life: F Have a Question?
