I chose binghamton over other schools because price-wise, it was the best option. now i am regretting that decision and realizing that going somewhere just because it is cheaper is definitely not a good choice. Everyone here is basically the same, though there is a lot of ethnic diversity. It seems to mostly be a preppy school concentrated on the frats and sororities, especially in some of the dorms such as newing where I live. It is very cliquey. A lot of the people I have met aren't very nice or outgoing. Other than that, the academics aren't bad, i feel challenged and like I am learning a lot. The professors themselves, at least in the larger classes, are impossible to reach for one on one time, but in the smaller classes they are easier and very approachable. The social scene here blows, it is very repetitive. the only thing to do on the weekends besides sit around on campus and play video games is to go to the bars or frat houses. this gets expensive with all the cab rides and tends to be overcroweded anyways. I was looking for a school that I would feel at home and and would give me the best four years of my life. I know that this place is not going to do that, I am getting the hell out of here next year. if you're looking for a down to earth place with friendly people and lots of activities, don't come here.
