hey there adaeze. Im a junior at bing and i went to stony brook for my entire freshman year so maybe i can help you out. tbh bing has a MUCH better social atmosphere than stony brook. it was way easier for me to make friends at bing than sbu and they were much happier. a lot of students at stony brook think it sucks and only attend because they feel they have to. this is the major contributor to its overall depressing atmosphere. not to mention a large portion of the students go home on the weekends, even the ones who reside on campus - and weekends start thursday night i remember one time i got locked out of my room and there was no one on my side of the hall to help me out. thats not to say everyone on campus leaves, but for me the majority of my friends went home home every weekend.
Although binghamton has depressing weather and a depressed city, i know few students who hate the school. Most of my friends, myself included, love the school and are excited to return every semester.
although stony brook may have better food, weather, and more diversity, i can tell you that the students at bing are 100Xs happier than the students at sbu, and thats the most important thing.
and btw i know a few people in psychobio and as far as i know its a pretty well supported program. if you wana know anything else feel free to pm me
