Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Perhaps not surprisingly, students that move off campus prefer to live close to the nightlife. The amazingly cheap cost of rent and ease of getting around town, even without a car, makes the move easy. As a result, student housing dominates many blocks around downtown Binghamton, with some areas maintaining an on-campus feel with the added privacy of off-campus living.

While all the benefits of off-campus living in Binghamton may make you want to sign a lease as soon as possible, most students do not make the move until junior or senior year. Living in a privately-owned house or apartment is just that—private. It is often harder to meet new people and easier to remove yourself from the campus scene when you live off campus. Still, making that move eventually will be a worthwhile experience.

Where I live is relatively nice. My only complaint is that the walls are too thin.

Off-Campus Housing

The university doesn't help you with finding any off-campus housing. It's not that hard to find and it's cheaper than living on campus. Some areas in downtown Binghamton are definitely dangerous. You need to research to know what sort of area you're potentially moving into.
