Even though I hate the actual school, I've made some of the best friends of my life of Binghamton. But social aspects aside, this school is terrible. Academically, yes it has a good reputation and it is a challenging competitive environment. Job success from this school is a plus but only because of the misrepresentation the school gives. Administratively this school is horrible. Ever hear "you get what you pay for"? Well, that entirely applies to Binghamton. I am currently a second semester senior who didn't find out til 5 weeks into my last semester that I was over the credit limits in a specific category, so my extra credits were taken away and I no longer qualify for full time student status. This affects my financial aid, my scholarships, and my health insurance. If you go into the arts and sciences school program, they offer no or terrible advising. You're expected to do everything on your own and if you happen to not know something " you are penailzed for your own ignorance" as an associate dean told me. If you are planning to go into the school of management, then maybe this school is for you because they bend over backwards for those students. So yes, I had a great time here with my friends, I joined various clubs, including a sorority, but if you want to go to a school without hassles, quality professors who know what they are doing and are willing to give you the time of day, assurance that you'll get quality advising, quality health services when you are sick, and a nice surrounding community - DO NOT GO TO BINGHAMTON!!!!
