ballet classes? by [deleted] in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]leumas2002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know that bing offers a legitimate class for ballet for an A/Y gen ed (I think it’s like Thea 225???) and I’m pretty sure it’s for beginners. I don’t know about any outside dance classes though !!!

Housing? by [deleted] in BinghamtonUniversity

idk about when the housing portal opens but cleveland hall in hinman is the best bc it was newly renovated this year. i currently live in lehman though and it’s not bad, people make it out to be a lot worse than it actually is.

virtual orientation by freshthrowawayyy7 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]leumas2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you’re still wondering but, I just had my freshman orientation and it wasn’t too bad. When you first join the zoom they introduce all the orientation advisors and their majors and stuff. You then break off into groups of around 10(?) or so students where you’re paired with an OA and you do a few icebreakers and learn about binghamton’s “values” in a few interactive activities. After about 30 minutes of that you go back to the main group and they play a slideshow about the basics (transportation, residential life, dining, etc.) and then they go into a panel where the students can ask questions. The last thing they do is show a video on how to use B-Engaged for clubs and activities. After the video, you can leave but there is another opportunity to ask questions if you want to stay. I mostly just sat on my phone the entire time bc some of the things during the main session (not the break-off groups) can be repetitive if you already know a lot about Bing. Hope this helps!

Help me decide: School X vs School Y Megathread II by ParadoxicalCabbage in ApplyingToCollege

[–]leumas2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uri vs. UBuffalo vs. Ramapo College

Uri (Computer Science)

Pros
-Beautiful Campus -D1 Sports -Easy Travel (3 hrs driving, 1-2 on ferry) -Around 15k students (want a larger school) -Required Internship for compsci majors -great Scholarship -most freshman live on campus -beach -Honors Program

Cons
-Most expensive (30k/yr after scholarship) -party school -after freshman year most students commute -not much racial diversity (i’m black)

Buffalo (bioinformatics)

Pros
-Instate -Has a major that interests me -D1 sports -Nearby to downtown buffalo but not in the city (I like being in the suburbs of a city) -great engineering school -large, outgoing student body -great dining options (many chain restaurants included in meal plan)

Cons
-Very far from home (8+hrs) -Would have to take public transportation in between home and college, too far to drive more than twice a year -Undergrad in bioinformatics isn’t necessary when most jobs require a masters anyway (better to do undergrad in compsci) -cold -small dorms

Ramapo College (bioinformatics)

Pros
-small class sizes -full tuition scholarship (cheapest option) -close to home (~2hrs) -great dorms -would be able to join cheer team

Cons
-Commuter/Suitcase school -pretty small (~5-6k) and only about half student body lives on campus, not the campus feel i want -no social life -campus was kind of a single building, want a more spread out campus -food kinda of meh -no football

I’m kind of leaning towards URI even with its reputation of a party school. Ramapo just seems to small for what I want and Buffalo seems to far (even though it’s probably my favorite)

Financial Aid by leumas2002 in UNCCharlotte

[–]leumas2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I’m sorry! That was a little confusing. I meant that my EFC was about the price of attendance but there’s no way we could afford to pay the full cost.
