Ask questions about Binghamton here!

@sfernan6 Thanks. I really doubt I’ll get a job freshman year since I’ll still be adjusting to college life, but I just wanted to know just for future reference.

I have questions regarding dorming. Because I’m going for the cheapest option, I’m either choosing a Hinman double or a CIW dorm. Hinman, I hear, is more suitable for my personality (studious, quiet, not into the party scene) but has significantly smaller room space. I’d opt for CIW, which has bigger double suite rooms, except the stereotype for that residential hall is unlike me. In addition, the long climb up the stairs would be annoying to me. CIW is a mix of suites and corridor style rooms while Hinman is strictly suites. How difficult would it be for a freshman to secure a CIW suite or a Hinman suite? Does the housing portal state whether the room you selected is a suite or not (could you determine it by looking at the number of beds, knowing that 4/6 is a suite?) I’m sticking to a suite because I really don’t want to share a comunal bathroom with 20+ people and have to lock my room every time I shower.
