How would you describe the social life at bing? What do most people do in the weekends?



The Binghamton “culture” on the weekends is definitely geared toward downtown. Sunday morning, everyone on campus will probably talking about what happened at the frats or on State Street at the bars. But while that’s the choice activity of the majority, it’s not the choice activity of everyone and you’re not “shunned” if you don’t go downtown on the weekends. There are restaurants and theatres and art galleries in the area, and there are concerts and activities on campus that people use as an alternative. That’s also not to say that everyone who goes out, goes out every weekend. Or that everyone who goes downtown drinks.



Is it easy to get a job with Accounting degree (SOM)?



In SOM, if you play your cards right, you’re probably better set for a post-grad job than you would be in any other school. Price Waterhouse Cooper works in conjunction with SOM. And it’s not true for everyone, but if you become a PWC scholar and get an internship with PWC, you’re likely to get a post-grad job offer from them too. I have a friend who is graduating in May and going to work for PWC with an $80k starting salary.
