Student review [#25710] for Geography
at Binghamton University

For someone who has lived in a suburban environment my entire life, Binghamton’s immersion in nature was an incredible change of pace. The campus is surrounded by forests and preserved, natural land, making every view outside my dorm and every walk I took around campus a scenic experience. The classes I took were overall not very difficult, something that can partially be attributed to the course material they covered but also to the professors that taught them, because while I did have a few bad ones, by in large my professors were great. During my time at school, the largest flaw I could find in the University was something they cannot really control: the weather. It gets cold in Binghamton, really cold, and once the temperature drops around November it stays that way until about April, or a few weeks before it’s time to go home. This made it difficult to do any outdoor activities and often put a damper on the mood of everyone on campus, so if you can’t stand the cold, Binghamton is definitely not for you! That being said, even with a lack of things to do outside I was still able to have a great time. I made some amazing friends and created memories I will remember for the rest of my life.
