Couldn’t tell ya Rebeccar. But People conflate tuition and rates for residential housing. They often do so when arguing that college cost have risen markedly. In the case of Binghamton, it is possible to disentangle them and pay a lot less. Housing costs can be reduced markedly by saying no to the inflated cost of the housing they offer. And, while yes there are low priced dangerous areas there, there are low cost relatively safe ones too-at least as safe as those offered by the university and also as safe as those offered by developments that partner with the university.
