...might one say without a thought. Of course, the City of Binghamton isn’t as city-like as NYC. However, if you know how to utilize your resources, you will have tons of things to do! Just to prove I’m not lying, I will offer you the inside scoop of the things you can do here on campus and in the city. :D !
Movies
LateNite Binghamton shows movies every Friday and Saturday nights on campus for free !
The Harpur Film Society shows national and international thought-provoking well-made movies that you won’t see anywhere else!
The AMC movie theater is just a couple of miles from campus and shows $4 films Monday through Friday! Plus, it’s in the same shopping plaza as Walmart.
Binghamton University’s Theatre Department has a wonderful line-up of performances each semester.
The Anderson Center on campus has music and theatre throughout the year
Broome County Community College also has shows throughout the year.
Art
Binghamton University has its very own art museum">Binghamton’s art museum</a>, located in the Fine Arts building, and hosts more than 3,000 pieces from all over the world.
The City of Binghamton hosts a First Friday art walk downtown where you can see the works of local artists and enjoy some time discovering downtown.
Music
The Department of Music often has classical concerts, many of which are free!
Other fun things to do
Campus Recreation can be a great way to do something healthy with a friend! Tuesday and Thursday nights the rec center is open later for students, and you should also take a look at group exercise for classes like spinning or yoga
Getaway Bus Tripsare offered throughout the semester. You can go to Philly, NYC, Syracuse, and more with a group of students for a great price!
If animals are your love, then the Ross Park Zoo could be a great way to spend a perfectly sunny day with your friends!
Broome County Community College has an ice rink. Be sure to check the times it is open to the public!
You can also take walks in the Nature Preserve, shop at the Oakdale Mall, bowl at the local bowling alleys, and one of my personal favorite, get bubble tea :D ! If you never had it before in your life, I assure you you’ll love it! Anyway, I hope all of this excited you a tad bit more about coming to Binghamton !
