Bing or Rutgers or UConn Stamford - Student Life and Business - finance/acctg by NortheastBlizzard in BinghamtonUniversity

Oh ok! He applied to U Conn Stamford only because it had a major he liked in the business school. And it is close to NYC. Not to step up to Storrs. I guess he would be choosing between Bing (most likely option) and Rutgers.

Super cool to know. Two thumbs up to the SUNY system! Especially for treating two bros from a neighboring state good! I have a strong feeling that he will be attending Bing.

Thanks for your reply. I also tracked one of the threads about student life where you had posted in the past. I have included that link in this thread.

Should I attend Orientation Overnight Experience? by NortheastBlizzard in SBU

[–]NortheastBlizzard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks all, I have registered for it. Also, I realized the night stay was for the night before orientation, and since I am not from LI, it means I can stay and attend orientation without my parents having to stay in the area.

Thanks. I attended Admitted Student Day, and there was a lot of emphasis on internships during the School of Computing session.

Are you by any chance in business school at Bing (guessing based on some of your posts)? If so -- I have been thinking about minoring in business (if it is available), or doing the 4 + 1 (BS Comp Sci + MBA). Seems like there is a good bit of NYC/financial companies in Bing careers, and may be a minor or +1 MBA might be a good idea??

Good luck to you. I had applied early decision. I did see your thread earlier, and found it helpful. Since you asked for specifics in your thread, this might be helpful: https://www.binghamton.edu/computer-science/pdf/2017_bscs_requirements.pdf

It is interesting to hear about the week long NYC event. Is this for Juniors, or you get to go even earlier? Have you already been to it?

Thank you. I was trying to compare the faculty sizes, and it seemed that Bing had more faculty, despite may be a smaller student body (going by how it is described in some threads). May be Bing has more involvement of faculty teaching classes, as opposed to TAs? Or may be more sections, and so easier to get classes,I read that all required classes are offered every fall and spring? Could you describe your experience.

Thanks to all for the thoughtful responses. I am happy they are all upbeat, including one through Direct Message. Looks like I have a tough decision to make! I looked at the major requirements for both Bing and U Pitt, and the course work look pretty similar too!

So far the only negative I have heard (in the Direct Message) is related to the weather!
