What’s not to love?!?

#10 - Student Satisfaction
We have the 8th best freshman retention rate among public universities in the nation.  Retention rate means how many freshman return for their sophomore year, in other words, how happy are our freshman students… was Binghamton really the right choice for them?  The answer?  A resounding YES!
#9 - Small Classes
U.S. News and World Report (2007) named Binghamton in the top 20 for smallest classes.  Over half the classes at Binghamton have fewer than 29 students.
#8 - Success After Binghamton
Binghamton’s 4-year graduation rate is 30% above the national average.  We’ll get you in and out, and you’ll have a great time in between.  We hold career fairs and graduate school fairs every year, and all of the top recruiters for major companies love hiring Binghamton students.  For instance, we are the #3 feeder school in the nation for the “Big Four” accounting firms. 
#7 - Best of Both Worlds
At Binghamton, you have all of the opportunities available from a larger university (tons of majors, endless clubs/organizations, top research facilities, and outstanding faculty), but you still have that small school feel.  You can walk anywhere on campus in about 10-15 minutes, and our living communities feel more like neighborhoods than dorms.
#6 - Diversity
Binghamton students come from all across the U.S. and all around the world!  Our students represent almost 100 countries, and 36% of our students speak a language other than English at home.  We are a global community, and you can learn as much from your fellow classmates as you can from your classes! 
#5 - Sense of Community
We have five different living communities or “neighborhoods” on campus.  Each has its own personality and special events.  For instance, the College in the Woods (CIW) community holds a casino night each year.  You can’t go wrong when it comes to housing. 
#4 - Credit from High School
Binghamton is super generous with giving you credit for your hard work during high school.  A score of three or better on an AP exam will most likely get you credit at Binghamton, and same goes for grades of “C” or better in any college course you took through your high school.  Scores of 5, 6, and 7 on HL IB exams will also equal credits at Binghamton.  You can come in a sophomore if you work hard enough during high school!
#3 - Study Abroad
Through the SUNY system, we can offer you over 400 study abroad programs!  Anywhere you want to go, anything you want to study.  And, if you’d rather stay in the United States, we also have a national exchange program.  Hawaii during the fall semester perhaps?
#2 - Accelerated Degree Programs
Also known as 3/2 and 4/1 programs, Binghamton has a number of combined degree programs that allow you to get your bachelor’s and master’s in a total of just five years - saving you time and money!  So, for instance, you can major in anything at Binghamton and get your MBA in five years.
#1 - The Price!
Need I say more?  You’re getting an Ivy League education at an extremely affordable price.  Graduating from college with low debt is always a good thing.
