@nypapa We were very happy with it. The first thing they emphasized is happiness & if your not happy you won’t be a good student. My son got into the scholars program not FRI. We are told that research is still an available if he wants it without fri. I find the services are plentiful for them. I’m not sure what area of stem you are looking at, mine is computer science. I really liked the CS dept & felt there is a lot of support from the dept. the scholars does include specific classes but most replace gen ed classes, provide additional advising, separate living & not tripled, as well activities & trips that are all free. Another benefit is priority registration. All I can say is look. I should add we are not strangers to Binghamton, my husband graduated there 35 yrs ago.
