Ask a Current Binghamton University Student Anything!

<p>Campus: Not so fancy-- no gothic architecture or anything, but I enjoy walking through it. There’s a lot of construction going on now but it should be done by next year and a lot of buildings are going to be nice and new once they finish it. The nature preserve is a really great resource, people go on walks there a lot.</p>

<p>Food: A lot of negativity about the meal plan prices and food choice but I think the food is pretty good. Typical dining hall stuff, but we also have an Einstein’s Bagels and are getting a Moe’s, Red Mango, chinese food place, and some other stuff in the new food court opening this spring. There’s lots of kosher, vegetarian, halal, nutritious etc stuff.</p>

<p>Professors and classes: This is going to definitely depend on your intended major. I’m English and History and I really love most of my classes. Other than two or three, I’ve enjoyed all my professors.</p>

<p>Parties: Most people go downtown for parties. It’s not really my scene but there’s a bunch of bars and frats which have stuff every weekend. From Thursday-Saturday nights there’s always a big crowd of people waiting to take the buses downtown. A lot of people pre-game in their dorms or apartments, too, but nothing huge. How often people socialize is entirely what you make of it. I know people who go downtown every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night and I know other people who never do but hang out and get dinner with people whenever they want. It’s definitely a social campus, there’s so many clubs and things to get involved in.</p>
