Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Okay, so Binghamton is not going to win any campus beauty contests. The older buildings are unattractive red brick, the dorms were designed to look like prisons, the newer buildings are concrete and glass behemoths, construction blocks the scenery, and absolutely nothing matches. If you are majoring in 20th century ugly architecture, you should definitely come to Binghamton.

However, in terms of functionality, Binghamton overachieves. The computer labs are modern, the lecture hall is large and well lit, the science buildings are constantly being upgraded with new equipment, and the school is always adding more to the campus. Already, the new Union has added a lot of space for campus groups, a new dorm community will ease overcrowding, and the new field house will provide another training facility. Function over aesthetics—what do you expect from a school shaped like a brain?

Can Be Better

the facilities here are pretty modern and include anything you would want to do, but it sucks that the gym here isnt free and taking the bus to the closest planet fitness can be a hassle in the cold

Facilities are great. There is so much rom on campus for kids to hang out and play sports or to just go outside. Most of the dorms and buildings have just been redone so are beautiful and the older ones are currently are or will be soon redone so they are gonna be great too.

Facts

Favorite Things To Do

The Union is always crowded around lunchtime, and people often go to the libraries as much for social reasons as academic ones. When the weather is nice, people swarm to their dorm community quads to read, play Frisbee, or just soak up the sun.

When they are not in class, students can burn off some calories at the gym, catch a basketball game or other sporting event at the Events Center, grab a snack at the Food Court, participate in intramural sports, or just relax with friends in their dorm communities.
