| | | I entered the MA/PhD program with a BA and finished in 5 years (standard expected time). I experienced no funding difficulties. Upon completion, I had multiple job offers and currently teach at a research institution. With respect to political science, I disagree with earlier comments. I would definitely recommend the school to others | | Feb 22 2008 | Political Science | | |

| | | When one considers both the affordable price, and the prestige a degree from this "public ivy" university carries, it really can not be beat! ; ) | | May 22 2007 | Sociology | | |

| | | Binghamton University gives students a unigque chance to spend time in a community in this country that is devastated by unbelievable poverty and hopelessness-and then to be able to leave the area. It furfills every idea you had about Appalachian Mountain region without having to leave the northeast. After even a short time here students gain an appreciation of every other place. A few months here and you will think of places like Trenton and Newark New Jersey or Toldeo Ohio or Detroit and Flint as prosperous beautiful places filed with fun things to do. Here the only growth industry is poverty but it is created in great amounts and the word is that there will be no shortages of it in the future. People here are so old that you will leave thinking Boca is restricted to young'uns. So you may want to experience this if you want to study health and disease, sociology, gerintology, and anything along those lines. The university is a cold impersonal place so you can really feel great when you leave. If you plan to work in a huge corporation and have a cubicle, this place will be great training. It is also a place you can get great use of your winter clothes. With snow from September to May and rain from June to September you never have to worry about draught or sun burn. | | Mar 26 2006 | Other | | |

| | | Costs are low. You need to be careful about where you live even though there is no really nice section of town. There is not too much in the area so all time can be studying. If you need services like medical or dental help you can get good services in New York City or Boston.They are 200 miles away but it is easy to drive there. It is very hard to fly there because the weather is bad and flights are not direct. Others commented about the weather so it is true that sun is rare here. You should ask the professors how long it takes the students to get their degree. You may find that students of some facullty usually take 8 or 9 years to get done. The printed inform may not be accurate. Thats alright if students are going part time and living in a city but here it is full time and they may be working on facullty publications for all those years and working at a low pay and maybe testng patients for facullty. If you sak the Professor he may say that is the student's choice. | | Mar 22 2006 | Psychology | | |

| | | Sometimes students have many offers to graduate programs and have to choose. Some things that may be important may not be obvious. If you are a female or black applying to clinical psychology programs look at the faculty. How many of the FULL TIME TENURED CLINICAL faculty are black or female? What is the proportion of males to females and whites to individuals of color? Do these ratios match the ratios for the department and the university? If not, how is that explained? How many women and black faculty have been tenured in the past decade or two or three? Are excuses or are you told that areas outside clinical or adjuncts fill those needs? Do the male white faculty claim to be sensitive to these issues and claim they cover any multi-cultural needs? Do they rely on films and outside speakers to fill the need? Have there been a string of female junior faculty who have left? What about junior faculty of color? How are the women in the clinical area treated? How are faculty from different minority groups and cultural backgrounds treated? Have they been marginalized? Do the faculty say things that downgrade the achievements or activities of the female faculty or of the African American faculty? Do they discourage students from working with them? How many graduate students do the tenured women and African American faculty have working with them? What excuses are given if things do not look right? What do the tenured African American faculty and women say about their experiences there? These questions should be asked by all students applying to any program since the answers will give you some insight into the values of the program, the mentality of the faculty and how you may be treated in the future if you choose to attend that program. | | Jan 11 2006 | Psychology | | |

| | | The program has good funding so I am not in debt. Most of the students are female. The program has a very bad history with women faculty. The few male students get all the breaks and offers. They have advisors looking out for them. There are no minority faculty and almost no women. Since the field is primarily female and diverse the faculty is bizarre here and not supportive. They are arrogent and self centered. | | May 08 2005 | Psychology | | |

started in a neuropsychology lab.wrote and got grant with local practitioners. Got the funding but advisor tried to take credit and change the project.did not want female graduate student getting credit maybe. Lucky to be able to move to another profs lab but he insisted on credit for project anyway. he runs the program now. women can not have leadership positions in the program. they are treated poorly. Hear there is a brand new female prof. good luck to her. others last only a few ye
ars. Terrible atmosphere for women. dont think any get tenure or promotion. Look out for the male faculty who have been there a long time and have all traded in 1st wives for newer editions. bad place. I work at a university that treats women well. there are some. go to those. | | Apr 04 2005 | Psychology | | |

| | | I spent four years here as an undegrad student (History) and then 2.5 years as a grad student (Literacy Education). Loved every minute of it and would do it again in a minute... I got a quality education at a fantastic school for extremely low tuition. I stayed in Binghamton after graduating and now, while working full-time, I'm still taking courses just for sheer enjoyment and fulfillment. I HIGHLY recommend Binghamton for both undergraduate and graduate work. | | Feb 19 2005 | Education | | |
|
| | | Bottom line is that Binghamton University was not set up as a research institution. There are lots of malfeasance with administration and the professors. If you are a bright students seeking a grad. education, you can do much better. Be VERY careful with this institution. | | Feb 13 2005 | Political Science | | |
