<p>i looked at the campus tours calendar – it looks like the days in late august when there are no tours are the days when new students and then returning students will be moving in. which means things will be more chaotic on campus – including parking.</p>
<p>at the admissions site there is a reference to taking a self-guided tour – [Binghamton</a> University - Undergraduate Admissions - Visit Binghamton](<a href=“http://www2.binghamton.edu/admissions/visit-binghamton/index.html]Binghamton”>Visit Us | Undergraduate Admissions | Binghamton University) – look all the way on the right, part way down the page. there is a link to a map with suggested points of interest.</p>
<p>but you should first check with the admissions office as to whether parking will be available in what are usually the lots available for prospective students. you may want to avoid the day that new students move in, because things will be the most chaotic that day – returning students filter back over the course of the next few days, so its not as bad as the one day when all the new students are arriving. </p>
<p>if you do go at the end of august, realize that it will be a very atypical time to be seeing the campus – students moving in, but not starting classes yet. also realize that hotels and restaurants right around campus will be busy the days parents are dropping students off.</p>
