My daughter was a transfer, starting Spring 15. We had the exact same experience as “pha516.” She was supposed to move into the dorm on 1/19. No one was there to greet us. The dorms were completely empty. No way was I leaving her there alone…it reminded me of the Shining movie. No evening events were planned. The dining plan didn’t start until the end of the week. It didn’t seem like spaces were reserved in classes for these Spring students, and it was a free-for-all trying to find space in classes that would be of any interest to her. I expected better from Binghamton! Once all the returning students moved back into the dorm, things got much better. She’s happy as can be with her decision to transfer to Binghamton, but it was not a very welcoming beginning.
