The common areas are pretty and fun, the professors are nice

The food court has lots of different cuisines, and the teachers are well educated. There is a Starbucks on campus, and a Boba place right next door

The thing that makes Bing great is the people. The faculty, the students. Everyone is really chill and accepting for the most part.

Really enjoyed my time here! Professors were really nice and a great place to meet a lot of nice people. Weather and city could be better, but that's something not in the school's control.

Avoid if you don’t want death risk.

Honestly, I really was hoping this place was gonna be great but to my disappointment, Binghamton is nothing but Suffolk Community College with a gucci belt. This place is pathetic. I had the worst roommate and reslife denied any sort of accommodation for me to move, while unvaxxed kids get the luxury of being in singles. Don't come, save time & $$.

Engineering and comp sci departments are a joke. While the reputation of the school is good, expect to have almost no direction on assignments. No personal investment from professors. Also most classes are packed above capacity. Eating food from the school cost about 3 times as much as outside of the school.

SUNY Bing says it's the best public school in the northeast. However, if you go outside a 100 mile radius not many businesses know the school exists. They pretend to be pretentious which makes the classes more difficult than they need to be. Staff is often unwilling to help and the department chairs are lazy and stuck in their old ways. Avoid.

It's not that nice to be honest. Dining hall food sucks and the internet is not working good in lecture halls.
