Residential Life

Offering a small-college atmosphere at a larger university!

Why be "just a number" when you can be a part of a thriving community? While living on-campus at Binghamton you'll feel that you're at a small college while enjoying the resources of a first-rate university.  Our residence halls offer interactive communities with over 2,000 programs each year!

Making learning fun!

Debates, movie reviews, and field trips - just a few of the ways we make learning fun!  Our students are supported in their academic and personal growth by a tenured Faculty Master, dedicated professional staff, and Resident Assistants.  Our goal is to provide academic guidance and add to your educational experience, while maintaining and enhancing a real sense of community on campus.

Mark Reisinger

Faculty Master, Apartment Communities
Associate Professor/
Undergraduate Director of Geography

Professor Mark Reisinger has been a member of Binghamton’s Geography Department since 2001 and is now in his 2 nd semester as Faculty Master of the Apartment Communities.

Professor Reisinger has been impressed with Binghamton’s residential life system. “The collegiate structure at Binghamton is unique for several reasons. The residence halls are organized as communities, each having their own dining hall (except the Apartments) to promote student interaction. In addition, each residential community has a Faculty Master to advise and mentor residents. Finally, the Faculty Master instills a sense that learning does not just occur in the classroom, but it also happens in every aspect of the students' lives.”

 Professor Reisinger loves being part of the residential life team. “I love working with the students and the professional staff. Both provide a real sense of energy and enthusiasm for what they do. I enjoy the idealism of the students and trying to assist them in turning their ideas into reality; they bring so much zest and zeal to everything they do. I love working with the students and helping them to achieve their academic goals.”
