Did you know that Binghamton University has won seven awards for internationalization?  Did you know that we have nearly 2,000 international students from over 90 countries?  I’ve always thought that the greatest benefit of college is that it is a young person’s first opportunity to really expand their view of the world, their surroundings, and academia.  Chances are good that in your high school, you don’t have the option of taking a class called “Existence and Freedom”, or “The Rise and Fall of Rome”.  Chances are also good that you’ve never lived in an environment with people from all over the world.  Binghamton University offers students the opportunity to experience things they’ve never thought of before, and that’s what college is all about.  We live in an increasingly global world, and for students to gain the skills necessary to communicate across cultures, there is no better place than Binghamton University!
