Thanks for considering Binghamton University!

The college search and admissions processes can be exciting but a little overwhelming at times. Don't worry, you can do it.

You already took a great step in the right direction by considering an exceptional school like Binghamton University. Imagine yourself taking a study break to explore the university's 190-acre Nature Preserve with your friends. Or, send postcards to family and friends while studying abroad in one of more than 400 programs in more than 50 countries. You can even enhance your career opportunities by earning your bachelor's and master's in just five years through Binghamton University's growing number of combined degree or 3/2 and 4/1 programs.

Students not only love going here (more than 90 percent of freshman return for their sophomore year), but they also love graduating when they expected to – Binghamton's consistent four-year graduation rate is one of the top in the U.S. Learn from renowned faculty, make friends with students from around the world, join the countless clubs and organizations, and relish upstate New York's breathtaking scenery. Here you are sure to find the right fit, both academically and personally. The price is right, too – Kiplinger's Personal Finance recently deemed Binghamton University the "#1 best value in the nation."

As an undergraduate, I wrote for a campus newspaper and participated in undergraduate research. I earned degrees in Psychology and English-Journalism and became a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Though I'm a Delaware native and graduate of the public university in my home state, I can provide you with a valuable perspective on why Binghamton University should be your top public university choice in New York State, the Northeast U.S., and even the East Coast.

I wish you the best in your college search. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, no matter if they are big or small. And, if possible, come and visit! It's one of the best ways to see if Binghamton University is right for you.
