SUNY at Binghamton Campus

Welcome to Binghamton University!!! My name’s Brittaney, and I’m a sophomore from Long Island, NY who's double majoring in Psychology and Cinema. I’m going to be bringing you all around Binghamton’s campus and the surrounding area to show you all that this school has to offer. Hopefully by the end of this tour, you’ll be able to see why I chose Binghamton as my home for four years!

Binghamton has one main quad - the peace quad. Will you find people throwing frisbees and having fun? Probably not...

Binghamton's other gym facility, the West Gym, is where you can find both classrooms and sports courts. You will likely find yourself here if you are taking a Health & Wellness class, or if you are part of an intramural sports team. If you want to play a sport, but don't have the time/ability/desire to commit to a varsity team (like us!), then intramural sports are definitely a good option, as games are fun, quick, and are only once a week. From basketball, to soccer, to dodgeball, to volleyball, there are many options, with co-ed options as well as "competitive" options! As far as Health & Wellness courses go, Binghamton offers classes such as yoga, weight training, and even taekwondo that can all be taken to satisfy a general education requirement.

The Spine is an integral part of Binghamton's campus, connecting buildings such as the Union/Marketplace, Fine Arts, the Lecture Hall, the Student Wing, and the science buildings. This is the path that leads to EVERYWHERE. This is where you'll definitely find the most life during the school day, as students, faculty, and other community members frequent this expansive walkway to get wherever they need to go on campus.

Binghamton's school size - how big is it actually?

It's the Peace Quad! A surprising (but unsurprising?) fact I've learned is that it's named that because the three sidewalks that run through this grassy paradise actually form a peace sign! WOW!!! Located behind the Marketplace, and adjacent to the administration building and Old Dickinson Community (not to be confused with the NEW Dickinson community, which is where I live), it's a prime location for laying out a blanket, grabbing a portable speaker, and laying out in the sun with your friends (or as we can see behind me, some yoga!). Alternatively, it's a good spot to find a dog to pet, as people bring their dogs there to play fetch.

Welcome to the University Union! Or in the common man's vernacular, just the UNION. The Union houses many rooms, which are used as classrooms and club/group meeting spaces. Here, you can also find the campus's Dunkin Donuts! What I find the most significant about the Union, however, is the buses. This is the main bus stop on campus, where you can catch either the university-run OCCT buses (what we call the "BLUE BUS"), or the public bus (Broome County Transit bus). For absolutely FREE (yes, free!!), you can take either of these bus lines to various locations in the surrounding area, such as downtown Binghamton, nearby neighborhoods (for if you live off campus, for example), the mall, Walmart, Target, University Plaza ("U.P.", which I'll show you later!), and a multitude of other locations.

As, I mentioned before, the campus's main library, the Glenn G. Bartle library, has four floors available for studying. Here, we can see my favorite floor: the third floor! With a classic library feel, it is THE spot to get lost in your work and somehow end up finishing a 12 page paper in one night!

The bowling alley is a place where students can come and bowl for free. There is also a pool hall.

This is a comprehensive tour of Binghamton University. I will take you through dorm life, academics, and a typical binghamton weekend as I show you around the school. I hope you find it informative and entertaining.

In the Fine Arts building, in addition to classrooms for art and non-art classes, there are practice rooms where students can tune up on their opera voice or their tuba. In addition, you can find the campus art museum in this building! Here, we can see the permanent collection room. The main exhibit room is located upstairs. Both are free to students, and there are about 3,500 objects in the collection, ranging from paintings, sculpture, prints, and other works of art from all over the world!

Meet my wonderful roommate, GINA!!! Gina is an Integrative Neuroscience major also from Long Island, New York. She's involved in a number of ways on campus, such as Greek life and Tap Club. She spends much of her time drinking iced coffee and procrastinating doing work with me. We also do a lot together, so don't be surprised if you see her with me throughout most of these videos!

Meet Doug! Doug's a sophomore from Long Island, double majoring in History and Anthropology. One of Doug's most interesting features is that he can read hieroglyphics (kind of). When he's not cataloging artifacts in the lab, you can probably find him eating cheese somewhere. He loves Binghamton because he loves the on-campus opportunities that give him experience related to his majors and his ICONIC professors (i.e. Jeff Becker).

Welcome to the Nature Preserve! Binghamton's very own nature preserve expands over 182 acres of land, and is accessible to students year-round. With multiple marked trails, you can explore the preserve and experience this particularly special part of campus. Multiple classes utilize the preserve, especially some of the Outdoor Pursuits classes, such as hiking!
