Binghamton University, State University of New York

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Binghamton University or State University of New York at Binghamton (SUNY Binghamton) is one of the four university centers in New York State’s system of post-secondary public education (SUNY). Since its establishment in 1946, it has undergone a number of changes in name and location. Today, the research university’s main campus is located in Vestal, New York, and the school has recently opened a center nearby in downtown Binghamton. Binghamton has grown from a small liberal arts college to a large doctoral-granting institution, presently consists of six colleges and schools and is now home to more than 14,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

History

Binghamton was established in 1946 as Triple Cities College to serve the needs of local veterans returning from World War II of the Triple Cities area. Established in Endicott, New York, the college was a branch of Syracuse University. Originally, Triple Cities College offered local students the first two years of their education, while the following two were spent at Syracuse University, but the inception of the college is dated at 1946 when students could first earn their degree entirely in the Binghamton branch. When the college split from Syracuse and became incorporated into the State University of New York (SUNY) in 1950, it was renamed Harpur College, in honor of Robert Harpur, a Colonial teacher and pioneer who settled in the Binghamton area. Of the four University Centers (Stony Brook, Albany, Buffalo and Binghamton), Binghamton was the first to join SUNY.

In 1951, the college began a move to its current location in Vestal, New York. The site was purchased from a local farmer, anticipating future growth for the school. Colonial Hall, the original building of the former campus, stands today as the Village of Endicott Visitor's Center.

In the Business Week undergraduate rankings, Binghamton is listed among the top schools in the Northeast; Stony Brook is not. However, if you specifically wanted to go into tech businesses, I would guess that Stony Brook might be a more appropriate place to go.

Don't listen to that other person, M C obviously doesn't know anything about SUNY or Binghamton University. SUNY schools all have varying standards for admission. Binghamton is VERY hard to get into. They are very selective and enjoy being labeled as one of the "public ivys." You will get a great education for a great price but keep the GPA and SAT scores high (the average GPA for incoming freshmen was 3.6 and SAT scores were above 1200 for 75% of those accepted). The place itself is kind of dull.. it rains 300 days of the year and its gloomy. Not much to do. Very loyal basketball fans if you like school spirit. Hope this helps you out!

Best Answer

What do you mean by Famous? US News ranks it at 86 -- making it a very good second tier university. It is the best of the SUNY's -- but none of New York's public universities are really as good as the flagship public universities in California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina or Wisconsin. Still -- it is well respected. BusinessWeek ranks its undergraduate B-School at #76 (see the link below). Again -- this is respectable, but nothing special. On the graduate level, its MBA program is unranked. I would not advise anyone to get a full time MBA from an unranked school.

I have lived in Binghamton my entire life and although I did not attend BU (local community college I attended) I have many friends who have graduated from BU or are currently attending now. I also have many neighbors who obtained their master's degree from BU because of the location/price. It is a VERY well respected school and although it is definitely not a big city, there is plenty to do in Binghamton and the surrounding areas. There are many beautiful mountains, skiing, hiking, lakes, symphonies, operas, attractions in the area...too many things to list! I really think you made a fantastic choice. Like you said the tuition is a big factor and this is a reason why so many students compete to get into BU. They have a brand new sports complex, new housing for students, and have one of the best libraries I have ever set foot in. There is no reason why a higher education should put you over $100k into debt the minute you leave college. BU is an excellent choice and I think you will be very happy with it.

Question: What are your thoughts on Binghamton University? Have you gone? Would you consider going?

I've gotten into several terrific schools, many better than Binghamton, but my problem has to do with money- or lack thereof. I wanted a smaller school, but didn't get into my "reach" schools and am now debating whether going to these schools (Barnard, Bates, Colgate, Holy Cross, Franklin and Marshall) would be worth it or if I should go to Binghamton. I visited Binghamton this weekend and found that there was lots about it that I loved... but for anyone with any knowledge of Binghamton, or any of these other schools, could you please give me some knowledge or shed light on my situation with your own experiences? What would you do in my shoes? Why? What are the pros and cons of Binghamton? (My main worries about Binghamton have to do with 1) Reputation 2) Too little diversity (too many people from long island?) 3) a really depressingly ugly campus/town 4) the weather Thanks so much in advance to all who answer!!!!

Oh, this'll be fun. 1) Binghamton has a good reputation. We're called the Ivy League of Public schools. We're one of the top public schools in the nation. We're cheap too! I like cheap... 2) We're diverse! Although if you aren't Asian, Jewish, or from Long Island/NYC, you're a minority. Not that it matters. There are more than enough of everyone else. My roommate is from Rochester, and I'm a townie. Of course, my other four roommates and all but three of my friends are from the city...eh, what does it matter? 3) BINGHAMTON IS NOT UGLY!!!! It's just...boring. Why would you think it is? Bloody 'ell, we have parks all over the bloody place, There's a nature preserve behind campus that's bigger than the school is. I know of three large lakes within half an hour, and three well known waterfalls within an hour. Otsiningo Park is quite nice for instance, and that's ten minutes away. Do not call my hometown depressing and ugly, just bloody rude. Oh yeah, and it's the carousel capital of the world! Not that you care. The Twilight Zone was created in Endicott which is five minutes down the road... 4) Ok, yeah. The weather sucks. It rains alot, and it's cold. The heating works really well though...Binghamton is also the third cloudiest city in the country. The rooms get so hot though that my roommate and I have two fans...ON. Then again, that could just be ours. My suitemates don't even have fans... Finally, I'll let you in on a the hidden sociey of the dorms, since they don't tell you in orientation. Dickinson - D & D, also farthest from classes, oldest. CIW - Druggies and Frat Boys. Period. Hinman - Nerds. We're smart little buggers, and we're told we're cocky. Mountainview - It's like a hospital up there, everything is so sterile, and no one talks to anyone else. Finally, Newing - Newing is isolated from the rest of campus, it's very far away. No one WANTS to live there, they're just forced to, and get out as quickly as possible. Muahahahah. Any other questions?

Question: Which SUNY is better and why?

Best Answer

They all have good reputations, especially for students who are pursuing sciences and premed. Your best bet is to visit each campus. Go on formal tours but allow time to just hang out around the science buildings and don't be afraid to talk to students and ask them about their thoughts for their campus and their studies. Some SUNY schools have a program where you can stay overnight with a current student and shadow them to class for a day. That might be a good opportunity in helping you decide which is best for you. You might also talk to people in health industry, doctors, pharmacists, dentists, etc. and see what they suggest. I suspect they'll have stronger opinions about the actual medical school program than about premed though.

Best Answer

It depends on what you're interested in studying. Binghamton is a great engineering, computer science school. It's a little remote and doesn't have the city atmosphere as much as SUNY Albany or University at Buffalo. If you're interested in politics, social welfare, business, or criminal justice, then SUNY Albany is your school. If you want to go into education or child care related fields, Geneseo is the best. If you already know your areas of interest or study, then look into which SUNY schools are best with your subject and choose based on that with a combination of how you like the area (big city vs. remote).

Question: What do you think my chances of getting into SUNY Binghamton are?

On my last SAT, i got: Critical Reading 700 Math 640 Writing 670 On my ACT, i got:a 29 I'm not involved in many afterschool clubs or sports, for a couple of years I did electronics club (please dont ask lol), last year I did auto club, and this school year I will be doing bike club. Last year I worked throughout the schoolyear, and I have proof via a Cooperative Work Experience, a work program monitored by the school, in which I recieved an A+. I also worked this summer at a bicycle store, and will be working throughout the schoolyear. This summer I also volunteered at a food relief organization, and I will continue to do this througout the school year. Not counting my junior year (which was last year), I had a cumulative GPA of 90.5. However, last year I literally got all A's and A+ in every class, every quarter, and that grade improvement hasn't been factored in. I am in no remedial classes, and I go to a very competitive high school (Syosset high school, ny). Thanks

i just graduated from binghamton 2 years ago, and it seems like you are qualified. The only problem with applying to Bing is that, everyone applies there, especially in long island schools. And when i say everyone, all the smart boys and girls from high school who are usually the top 10% apply to Bing as a "backup" school. Binghamton usually puts a quota (depending on the school size) of how many students they want to accept from each school, and they usually* (not always) take the best of the applicants. Seeing that you did well in your junior year, and your SAT's looks good (I'm not sure how to factor in the new scores though --) and you do have extracurricular activities...so the chances are, that you will get in. I suggest that you write a good essay, and that you have a few other backup schools. YOu should also submit your application early. If you do get into Bing, I suggest that you decide what major you want to pursue by the end of Freshman year, since I believe that the school has a big problem with motivating students; if you lack direction coming into college, you should really talk to an adviser (which is so hard to do b/c they hardly give you any time). Anyways, Binghamton is a great school, and you'll meet great people. People just get carried away with the partying...so GOOD LUCK!

Honestly, I have a a friend that graduated from SUNY Albany and he said it was ok but a real party school. I myself am in Buffalo right now and I know a few professors at UB (University of Buffalo) and as far as their credentials and enthusiasm they are great! Buffalo State (SUNY) is also a good school but UB is one of the top 100 schools in the nation and since it is a state school the tuition doesn't hurt. UB has a good law program and as far as I know (from my friend) Albany doesn't, so I would check out UB if I was you.
