Student reviews

Professors

Freshman

I like the support that students get with their academics. The university provides many ways for the students to get help with their acadenics, whether it's through their free tutoring services, mentorships provided in some student organizations, or help hours with the professor there are many ways to get the necessary help. They also have a great community with many activities for students to participate in and get involved in campus life.

Student

For all the positives Binghamton University has, there are glaring negatives. The academics are rigorous (not in a bad way), and all of the professors I’ve had have more or less been truly knowledgeable and scholars in their chosen field. But thats more or less where it ends.

Student

Really great academics, everyone is very friendly. Some amazing professors and some not so amazing. overall very well-known and could have good benefits after graduation.

Campus and vibes

Sophomore

I am a current student at Binghamton University and absolutely love it. Everyone is super nice, and campus life here is great. The course load is heavy, but doable with the proper amount of effort invested into school. Overall, I would recommend Binghamton University.

Student

I was out-of-state which some people said you live a different experience, however if you put yourself out there it's very easy to make friends and find your people.
