Binghamton University Residential Life

Binghamton University Home

Different personalities, different traditions, and one experience you'll never forget!

Discover another side to learning in our five residence hall communities. Each one is distinctive, with its own dining hall, area government, professional staff and tenured Faculty Master dedicated to facilitating learning outside the classroom. In our residential colleges, you can feel like a part of a small community – with all the benefits of Binghamton University’s faculty, libraries, concerts and Division I athletics just steps away.

As you progress at Binghamton you can choose to explore another dimension of on-campus life in our two apartment communities. Both have the same mini-campus feel, and wealth of activities and traditions found in the residence halls, but offer full kitchens and an extra measure of independence to aid you in your transition after graduation.

Our web site has a wealth of information about our residential programs - have a look around and please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions - we're here to help!

For first year students, we particularly invite you to discover our Learning Community program. There you'll find out about some unique offerings that bring together the academic and residential experience and help you form key connections with other students, staff and faculty that will keep paying dividends throughout your Binghamton career.
