My campus life is incredibly vibrant, filled with diverse friends from various backgrounds. This diversity has enriched my college experience in profound ways, exposing me to different cultures, beliefs, and ideas. Each day is a chance to learn something new, whether it's sharing stories over lunch or engaging in lively debates in class. The mix of perspectives challenges my own views, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the world around me. Despite our differences, we find common ground and form bonds that transcend cultural boundaries. This vibrant tapestry of friendships has truly made my college years unforgettable.

This was my 1st year at Binghamton. I lived in Broome. I am in the scholars program so we had to live here. It was a nice dorm with ac and close to c4, dining hall
I really liked meeting a lot of new people and joining lots of clubs. I'm not really into partying so I found other ways to keep busy. I am on The Butt satire paper, the cheese club, pokemon club & sang in an acapella group Kaskeset, as well aa acted in Radium Girls play.
Next year I will be VP of the cheese club. You should come join us for a taste of cheese.

My experience at this school has been characterized by both positives and challenges. On the positive side, the campus itself is stunning, providing an inspiring environment for learning. The academic programs are rigorous and comprehensive, offering me a solid foundation in my field. However, there are significant drawbacks, such as the high cost of attendance and the lack of housing options for graduate students, forcing many of us to navigate expensive living arrangements in surrounding areas that may not always be safe. Additionally, the absence of meal plans for grad students often leaves us financially strained, having to cover food expenses out of pocket. Looking ahead, I hope to see improvements in diversity across the board – from student body and faculty to curriculum – as embracing diversity not only enriches the academic experience but also prepares students for a more inclusive and interconnected world.
