sarahnahmas. Binghamton may not have many students in the program but there are a lot of students at BCC. It is not a competitive program. It is pretty much open admission. The classes are taught to the level you might expect at an open admission program since nearly everyone else in the class will be BCC students. The faculty are not Binghamton University faculty they are BCC faculty. Maybe that is better than BU faculty but they are not the same. Socially students may have the Binghamton experience. But academically you have a community college experience. Students lacking skills needed for a 4 year college often go to community college. Some go because it is a cheaper way to get a degree. You can usually live at home and pay reduced fees and no room and board fees. But to pay the full price of Binghamton University to get a community college academic experience seems the worst of both worlds. Are you concerned about classes and academics or just social things. If you are going for academics, research the school you will take classes at not just the place you will socialize. On the plus side, most students aiming for a 4 year college will get straight A’s with little work at BCC. There are even text books made especially for community colleges that are far easier than those that would be used at a place like Binghamton.
