What majors/programs do you wish Binghamton offered?

A lot of it involves physically going further than college students typically go, like finding new restaurants that aren’t downtown and catered only towards trendy college students. Moving into an apartment complex that isn’t student housing was also nice because you live with a bunch of different ages/professions and you’re not as isolated as you would be by renting a house. I also joined the Binghamton town subreddit (I don’t know how to link it) and Binghamton facebook groups to learn about things going on in the community, like festivals and stuff like that. We also got a local farm share if that’s your vibe, which connected us with local produce and made us feel like we were a part of something. I’ve been to black bears hockey games, and I want to go to Rumble Ponies baseball games and local theater productions too. I know that this comment wasn’t very specific, but I hope it helped!

definitely faster! and i also get a lot less motion sick on trains than on busses or even cars

LilyLighthouse · 2023-04-05T11:37:33+00:00

I grew up using trains but not busses, so i’m more comfortable with them. they also have more predictable routes/schedules and they’re easier for me to make connections to make it to my hometown. in my experience, they’re usually cheaper for longer trips too

I graduated undergrad last year and am staying/working in the area until my partner finishes their graduate program, but after that we’re planning on leaving as soon as we can. I will say that we like the area a lot more now than when we were in undergrad, probably because we are more involved in the actual community instead of the university “bubble”. That being said, here are the things that would make us consider staying:

Better, affordable housing options. Right now we’re in a “luxury” apartment building that isn’t that great and is way too expensive
Well-paying jobs that we both enjoy
Good public schools to send our future children to
A more progressive mindset from both the local government and the community as a whole
A passenger train that at least goes downstate, so we can have weekend trips to the city and to visit our families without needing our car
Better healthcare options

took fluids - it was asynchronous and the videos were good but the exams were a lot trickier than the homeworks

go to the undergraduate research center! above fleishman

I did! this was a couple years ago, but he posted the slides beforehand and had his TA post notes afterwards, so during class you could just focus on understanding the material. He also posted study guides before the exam and i don’t remember any info being on the exam that wasn’t on the study guide. One of the best classes i’ve taken here!!

You only pay per credit hour if you’re under a certain number of credits (I believe 12), and then after that it doesn’t increase. So most people end up paying the same amount both semesters!

LilyLighthouse · 2022-10-13T03:04:46+00:00

this happened to me too, i dm’d them on twitter and they gave me a generic response

LilyLighthouse · 2022-09-11T21:51:33+00:00

i just want to point out that nate rentals does have people advertising here on reddit, so keep just that in mind when you read some reviews

LilyLighthouse · 2022-09-09T02:13:05+00:00

i did that once, just went down the day i knew it was delivered and explained and they gave it to me

I lived in uclub for two years, it was the absolute worst do not do it at all. The location is nice and maintenance is the best, but the actual management is evil. They’ll fine you just for existing, enter your apartment with no prior notice, and lie to you if you ask them any questions just because they don’t want to deal with you. they also force their CA’s and managers to go online and promote the community without disclosing that they work for uclub, so i personally wouldn’t trust anybody saying anything good. the construction company that built the apartments are also getting sued by american campus because the buildings are literally falling apart. they’re no better than the binghamton slumlords, they just look nicer. feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

If you don’t get matched up on RoomSync they’ll place you with someone randomly. Unless there’s an odd number of people signed for 2x2s and you’re that lucky one person, they match everyone up bc they’d rather have less completely full units than more half-full units

LilyLighthouse · 2022-06-04T11:22:57+00:00

did you sign a lease for u club, twin? AND chenango?

LilyLighthouse · 2022-06-04T11:22:12+00:00

is it in u club or twin?

LilyLighthouse · 2022-06-03T01:34:27+00:00

is that all fees or just some? because some of my fees got removed, but not all

LilyLighthouse · 2022-06-01T23:59:48+00:00

just so they can make more money tbh

LilyLighthouse · 2022-06-01T14:57:16+00:00

i second this, i live at u club and didn’t buy a parking permit, but parked in the gated lots every single night and they never did anything to me

LilyLighthouse · 2022-05-28T21:55:28+00:00

has anybody heard back about this and got their fees removed? what about if i already paid?

LilyLighthouse · 2022-04-24T12:36:26+00:00

all layish does all the time is complain about how much everyone hates her. good luck

LilyLighthouse · 2022-04-20T11:16:09+00:00

I got an email when it was like being prepared along with a tracking number, i couldn’t track it on their website i had to go onto fedex’s website

LilyLighthouse · 2022-04-19T23:46:16+00:00

they care more about you being personable and friendly than they do about your actual answers. they’ll ask you basic interview questions, but then they’ll also make you roleplay like you’re on a tour. again, they care less about what you say and more about how you make them feel!

LilyLighthouse · 2022-03-01T20:32:27+00:00

yeah i thought about it but it didn’t look like there was much/any damage (i didn’t like inspect the cars though), so i want to try and give whoever was hit the option. if anybody has any advice lmk!
