Big Picture

Ok, the weather sucks in Binghamton most of the time. It loves to rain, be cloudy, or snow. I cant stand the cold, but yet I love Binghamton U. to no end because of the people. The students that go to Bing are the NICEST people I have ever come across. There are sooo many types of people and backgrounds, I kept making friends until I graduated. There is always somewhere for you to fit in with. Size-wise, Bing is perfect. The on-campus housing is divided into communities, meaning the dorms are in clusters (communities), which allows you to feel part of a close-knit community instead of a speck in a school of 14,000 students. There isnt much of a college town unfortunately, but there are a few cute places downtown, and the bars downtown are never empty.

Academic Life

I was a studio art major (graphic design). The art department is very small, and is in need of some serious revamping due to internal art department issues. However, because of its size, I got to know my professors on an extremely personal first name basis, which was AMAZING since they are such great people! Im not sure if Bing has the greatest understanding of the art deparments requirements ( we are forced to take liberal arts classes the first 2 years - math, science, english??? I dont need that crap Im an art major!!) Students study all the time. Like all the time. But we know when to have fun so theres never anything lacking in that department.
