Depends on what you want. The honors program at albany is a plus. I believe you get special housing out of it. I think there is also priority registration which is helpful. I think for you the better choice would be albany seeing as you are still undecided. If you decide to major in buisness or computer science it would be easier for you to do that at albany than at binghamton where you will be pretty much limited to the courses at Harpur (and I guess CCPA).

Binghamton does have a better reputation academically and the student body tends to be a little more serious. But if you are in the honors program, you’ll be able to connect with more serious students as well if that’s your thing. Both schools also have a running club if you’re into that although binghamton has a nice nature preserve on campus that you can run in. IMO Albany has better surroundings. There is more to do in the area and there are a lot of good internships due to the location. But in the end it’s really your choice whether or not binghamton is worth the extra money. Have you had a chance to visit both schools? Good luck!
