"To be honest, the problem with my major is that they accept everyone, no matter how good they are or not. They do not filter out good from bad students."

"Binghamton University is an excellent place to pursue higher education. I found the instructors and quality of education to be really fulfilling. The Harpur College of Arts & Sciences had an interesting selection of classes with varying levels of difficulty."

"Binghamton is a great school for the price. It has something for everybody, from engineering to the arts. It is a pretty large school but depending on your department class sizes are generally quite small. Most professors are very knowledgeable and love what they do."

"I wouldn't change my experience in college for anything. Binghamton is a wonderful university that has allowed me to connect with dedicated and passionate faculty and has given me so many experiences that have helped me to develop the skills necessary to move onto graduate school and my career. One of my favorite parts of Binghamton was the hands-on learning that I was able to get and the connections that I have gained. Everything about this school and my experience here has been absolutely incredible."

"SUNY Binghamton has the academic rigor of a high tear private school, for the price of a SUNY School. The breadth of choices of majors is astounding. From Biomedical Engineering to Judaic Studies, there is something for everyone. Outside the classroom, there is a plethora of extracurricular activities you can immerse yourself in. But if you are in the theater department you will most likely be more involved with the rigorous program's theater productions that continuously mount up sold out performances at the well known Watters Theater."

"If you are prepared, there are numerous opportunities for you to take advantage of, but there isn't a lot of introduction to it for freshmen. There is free tutoring for a lot of classes, career advising, and if you are having a hard time, there is guidance counseling as well"

"As an undergraduate student at Binghamton University, you are prepared to enter an acute, dynamic and nebulous workforce. As a PPL student, I was urged to ask and pursue the bigger questions. Over the course of my academic career, I fine tuned my analytical skills and gained invaluable experience in critically evaluating, reasoning and charitably understand opposing world views. I graduated with a craving for nuance, complexity, and challenge."

"The biology major was divided into two focuses: biochemical, cell and molecular biology (BCMB) or ecology, evolution and behavior (EEB). The classwork was very different in their approach, BCMB classes tended to be more rote memorization while EEB classes were more discussion based and focused on current issues as well. Class diversity leaned towards more whites in EEB and more racial diversity (especially Asian and Indian) in the BCMB classes. Overall, the experiences in both were great and academically rigorous without being unnecessary."

"SUNY Binghamton was an amazing place to learn, grow, and discover. The campus felt safe and welcoming. The professors were both knowledgable in their fields and in educating their students. I wish that the school had more diversity among it's student body. I would also liked to have seen more effort form the faculty/ advising to elp student learn about actual jobs that involve their major."

"Binghamton University gives a broad horizon to see the world with its diversity of several cultures. It was a place for me where culture and knowledge meet. If I was an undergraduate student again, I could study at the same program I took in Binghamton University,"

"SUNY at Binghamton is located in Vestal, NY, a quintessential college town allowing for an ample amount of time to brush up on topics one didnt clear understand during lecture. The Masters in Accounting program has plenty of office hours available to students seeking clarity on topics discussed in class. The graduate class is fitted with students from the undergraduate program which steer some towards friendships already formed during their undergraduate years. This is also a major benefit of attending SUNY at Binghamton since most if not all of the graduate students would have already interned at one of the much desired Big 4 accounting firms. For the most part these students are more than happy to assist with resume workshops or interview prep held all throughout the school year but are intensified each semester during a 2 week stretch in which all the major accounting firms come for campus recruiting."

"I had very personable, accommodating professors and received a good education. However, I'm not proud of what my college stands for politically, but that is to be said for most public schools and not just Binghamton University."

"SUNY was an amazing experience for an unbeatable price! I made life long friends with my classmates and faculty, learning an incredible amount about myself, my area of study, and other people. The school cares about its students and wants them to succeed. There are so many wonderful services offered to students on campus."

"Binghamton offers so many opportunities for undergraduates to become involved in research, which is very valuable experience and also looks great on your resume. My research experience enabled me to become a published author (as an undergrad) and helped me land my first job!"

"I loved Binghamton University. The surrounding town was kind of dead but you're upstate and not much to do off campus. But Binghamton was one of the best experiences I've ever had. My professor were always available. And I even found a lifetime mentor while working in her lab for 3 out of three 4 years there. It takes time to adjust but Binghamton is worth the investment and you will be sad to leave on graduation day."

"Although this was not my initial intent of going to this undergraduate school, I was pleased with my choice to switch my major into this program. I was able to have more applied experience with counseling, rather than only read psychology theories from a text book. I would recommend this major to anyone interested in the counseling field, especially with youth."

"To some, Binghamton University is know as the "public Ivy" but to me-- my home, the place where I lived for 4 years and experienced countless unforgettable memories and made lifelong friendships . BU presented me with endless opportunities to achieve new things both academically and personally and I would not change my experience for anything. However, as cliche as it may sound, I truly believe that the school is what you make of it and every year I will admit that I felt like a different. I went through both ups and downs but learned how to always bounce back, with a little support from those around me. If I were to give anyone some advice about starting at BU it would be to use ALL the resources available to you and take advantage of everything. Use the teachers, use the studying services, use your connections and network; don't take your time their for granted and promise that you will leave a better more successful person because of it."

"I had an amazing college experience. Binghamton is truly one of the top public universities, the quality of education I received compared to that of my friends who went to other state schools was far superior. The professors were extremely knowledgeable, many with terminal degrees in their field. However, doing well in classes definitely requires work on the part of the student - going in to office hours and taking other opportunities to connect with your professors as often as possible will help you massively."
