I
am a senior at Bing, and I have found that
you either loooove it or hate it. Binghamton, I
love! It may not be the prettiest campus but
the views are gorgeous and sitting on campus during the
4 weeks of the year that have perfect weather are
priceless. I have taken classes in anthropology, psychology, sociology,
english, math, geography, comparative literature, poli sci, art, creative writing,
I have sampled a little bit of everything. Binghamtons
professors are brilliant people. Some are there for research
purposes and some like to teach, I have had more
professors that I like than dislike. Rate my professor
online, offers a pretty fair assessment, so look before you
choose a class. I have heard and seen some
negative reviews from other Binghamton students. The weather is
sometimes challenging, although every year there is less snow and
bitter cold. There is a lot to do in
Binghamton but you have to look for it. You
can't sit in your room and expect something to happen.
The school has a lot of weekend “Late Nite
Binghamton” activities from making your own curtains, to free recent
movies and video games. In the area there is
also a zoo, discovery center, museum, art galleries (Washington St),
First Friday's which is a festival the first friday of
every month downtown, Apple and Berry Orchards where you can
pick your own and get a cheap and delicious lunch,
also ithaca which has tons to do is only 45
mins away, syracuse with the biggest mall around is an
hour, so is scranton, and oneonta. The school has
weekend day trips for all who dont have a car
for about 5 bucks. Every restaurant type, chain or
otherwise is in binghamton, along with a small small with
all of the necessities. The movies in binghamton with
student ID are 5 or 6 dollars( i recommend hoyts-they
have nicer seats) 24 hour places to go are
dennys, walmart, wegmans, wendys, there are also ice skating and
roller skating rinks, the school also has hundreds of acres
of property called the nature preserve for hiking, it is
beautiful. There are also intramural sports, usually one or
two days a week in soccer, bball, softball, rugby, frisbee,
volleyball, its a great way to meet people. Theres also
a strip of bars and clubs downtown. The school
is in a prime location for things to do or
places to explore. But you have to take advantage
of it, most people I know who complain don't bother
to look, they just sit and complain. The academics
of the school are challenging. As I've taken a
variety of courses I can say that class size ranges
from 10 students to 400. The 400 person classes
are for intro classes, like intro to psych or chem,
most of these classes are accompanied by a 25 person
discussion section once a week. If you pay attention
and get to know your professors, whether in class, or
in office hours, you won't be a number, even in
400 person classes. Binghamton is what you make of it.
It CAN be the best 4 years of your
life but you gotta put a little effort in to
find the hidden gems.
