Read Hundreds of Quotes from Binghamton University Students

Read samples from the Binghamton University guide below:

Academics

“It depends on what you take. Some of the classes required for a major are taught by the oldest, most boring teachers on the least important, most boring subjects, but that will be the same wherever you go. I have taken some great classes with very...”

Diversity

“We have every student union that you could possibly think of. We especially have a lot of Jewish students on campus. Perhaps being Jewish, I notice that, but I think if you ask anyone, they will tell you that the Jewish students make up a large portion of...”

Guys & Girls

“I am a guy, but I will be real with you. Guys vary as well as girls. You will find the jerks and the sweethearts. I have met mostly people who are good at heart. In terms of looks, it’s totally subjective and dependent on your taste.”

Academics

The prevalent student opinion on professors and academics seems to be that “it all depends.” While some professors are knowledgeable and helpful, others would rather not be bothered with their teaching duties. An abundance of graduate students and foreign professors with a less than ideal grasp of the English language, especially in the science and math departments, also registers as a major complaint. Still, most agree that someone, be it a professor, graduate student, or teaching assistant, will be there...

Diversity

Binghamton—diverse on paper, not in practice. While there is an organization for just about every represented ethnicity or religious group on campus, students complain that there is little interaction between these groups. Others complain that meeting a student from outside New York State is on par with finding life from another planet, further detracting from the school’s diversity.

Still, it is safe to say that while whites remain the majority on campus and the Asian and Jewish organizations have strong...

Guys & Girls

Students seem to agree that no matter what your scene, you should be able to find a fair share of attractive people. Binghamton students may lack supermodel-caliber looks, but they more than make up for it with personality, as many describe the people around campus as friendly and nice.

People at Binghamton are looking for everything, from long-term relationships to quick hookups, so no matter what you want, it can be found. And while there are a few snobs and jerks, there should be plenty of attractive...

Athletics

Binghamton is by no means a big sports school. Though plenty of competitive athletic teams exist, the majority of the student body is indifferent to athletics, attendance is low, and school spirit suffers due to the lack of a football team. Athletics are, like so many other things at Binghamton, there for those who want to participate, but hardly a major influence on campus.

On the plus side, things are looking up. As several teams have started finding success at the Division I level, the popularity of the...
