This is so helpful! Im still deciding where to go, and your vid was really descriptive. Thanks sm girl!!
You're so welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a DM on instagram @therealjamieg
this was so helpful!! thank you:)
Glad it was helpful!
Wow your video was really informative! Thank you so much.
You're so welcome!
Thanks. BU was one of my safety schools, and I always wondered what it would have been like if I went there. What percentage of the student population is annoying?
thank you so much for making this video, i’m currently trying to figure out if binghamton is the right school for me which is difficult without accepted students days so this video really helped!! i was accepted into harpur and was thinking about majoring in psychology but now i’m not so sure..do you know if a BA psychology degree is also researched based like neuroscience?
Glad this video could help! There definitely is a research component of the psychology BA, here's a link to the required class page: www.binghamton.edu/psychology/undergraduate/psychology-ba.html
If you want, you can shoot me a message on instagram @therealjamieg and I can try to connect you with a friend that's a psych major!
In the long term , it matters not which school you attend...it's up to the student to prevail, do the hard work and make connections with the outside world so as to be prepared for career opportunities. Binghamton, Buffalo, Rochester, Oswego, Cortlandt, Stony Brook, etc etc what does it matter? Nada!
I got the same teddy bear for my girlfriend in white, but the very large size. I'm from Long Island and chose University of Miami over Bing and Fordham. When i visit my friends at Bing, we have a blast. It's such an amazing school. The buildings are so modern. Only problems is the weather, crime, sketchy city, and paying for a gym membership. The food is good as well! (Freshman year at the Rat lmao)
Every school is gonna have its downfalls haha!
Awesome channel Jamie you derserve it :D I subbed!
Thanks for subbing!
Loved how informative the video was. Do you know anything about the scholars program? And what would you honestly say is the biggest pro and con of Binghamton?
Hey! I have tons of friends in scholars, if you shoot me a message on instagram @therealjamieg, i can connect you! the pros and cons are definitely specific as to who you are. for me a major con is that there's no PR major and you can't take business classes if you're not in the school of management. however, a pro for me is all the internship experiences I've been able to have on campus!
hey, I wanted to know how diverse is Binghamton university???
Hi, can you tell me how the process was of making a schedule? Did they help you at all? and what classes can you or have to take freshmen year at binghamton?
Hi! I can really only speak from my experience in Harpur College. At orientation, your orientation advisor as well as the advising staff can help you pick out classes. What is great is that you can start taking classes right away for your major. So my freshman year (I was a neuroscience major) I took a combination of both general education requirements and science classes. Do you know what your school/major is? I can try to get you more specific answers!
Thank you so much, I am debating on attending Bing but its a tough choice to pick a school. By any chance do you know anything about their environmental studies and science classes
matty perira hey!! send me a message on Instagram @therealjamieg and I can connect you with a friend who is an envi Major!!
Jamie Goerke ok thank you
Hai i got accepted for masters in industrial engineering at binghamton University for fall 2021 , but I haven't received my i20 yet do i need to pay money inorder to get i20 ,waiting for the response
Hello pls i need your help in finding out something about the university
My daughter is looking into actuarial science major. Do you know if Binghamton has a good program?
this was very informative !! can u choose who u want to dorm with? im a junior in high school and i want to dorm with my friends
Yes, you can choose your roommate!
Thank you so much for your video. It's great! I am considering to major Neuroscience this coming year, and may I ask how it was and why you changed it? Please let me know! Thanks!
Of course! So I touched upon it briefly but the intro chem classes and intro bio classes are what I would consider weed-out classes. They're very difficult and the point is to weed students off the pre-med track and into the research track to make Binghamton a more well-renowned research institute. For me, I wanted to be pre-med but it wasn't sustainable for me to be attending tutoring so frequently and still not getting the grades I wanted. So it was a personal choice for me to focus my passions into something else I could accomplish and that's why I am now an english major. However, if you have the drive and the passion to excel in neuroscience, I think you can do it. You just have to utilize your resources (study groups, office hours, tutoring) and you can 100% succeed.
@@JamieGoerke Just read this! Thank you so much for your kind response! When did you get to take those major-related classes? I heard Freshmen and Sophomore students aren't necessarily taking major classes as they don't decide their major by then. Also, are bio classes difficult because they make students take exams frequently or write research papers/project?
Thank you again!
@@leeyoon3002 At Binghamton, you start taking major classes right away! My first semester, I took Chem 107, Psych 111, and two gen ed classes and my second semester I toom Chem 108, Bio 117 (now 114) and two gen eds. The classes are all lab and test based, and the exams can be quite difficult. I was going to tutoring and still struggling. However, if you have the drive to do well and you stay really on top of it, it is possible to do really well!
THANK GOD for this video. Binghamton needs to hire you to make their youtube videos lol.
omg thank you!!
Could you give some idea about Bangladesh community? How many Bangladeshis are there currently studying?
Wait is it really required to live on campus as a freshman? What if you already live within walking distance of campus?
ethan garcia if you live locally, you can commute. Exceptions to this rule are made to residents of Broome, Tioga, Or Southern Chenango county.
Hey, I got admitted to Harpur as undecided! Is there a specific amount of time I have before having to declare a major? Also what's the experience like as an undecided student?
Hi! So many students come in undecided so it’s nothing new, I believe you have to declare a Major by the end of your sophomore year but I could be wrong about that one. As an undecided major, it’s recommended that you take Gen Ed classes to start working on your degree and you can take intro classes in whatever areas you are interested in. An advisor can help you figure this out at orientation.
Being undecided shouldn’t be a concern because so many people change their majors anyway, so most everyone is undecided at some point. Does this help?
Hey so I got into Eop at Bing, and was admitted to Harpur. With that being said, I’m most interested in the school of management and was a wondering if I could possibly switch over in due time and how that would look.
Hi! So I was not in EOP and therefore don't know a lot about the program. I assume you could still submit an Intra-university transfer to switch schools. However I would talk to an EOP advisor to first confirm this is possible, and second to put you on the best track to transfer in.
Hey Andres. I am a rising sophomore at Binghamton University also in the EOP program. First and foremost welcome to the family ☺️. So since you are interested in SOM (school of management) you will enter in as a Harpur student and you will have to do an Intra-University Transfer. And although you are a Harpur student since you want to get into SOM I suggest you take classes that SOM requires and keep your GPA above a 3.0 since SOM requires a high GPA in general. I have a friend who is going through the process right now to get into SOM and she’s also in EOP. Hope this helps. I wish you the best can’t wait to see you on campus ☺️.
@@niajohnson8978 hey! It's been a year since you posted this, so hopefully you're still active on your yt channel. It's been a few weeks since I sent my documents, and I'm wondering as to when binghamton notified you on your EOP decision. any updates or no? any tips? thank you :-)
Hey, I got admitted to Harpur for Biochem + an invitation to FRI, can you tell me anything about the honors college and FRI?
Alana can you shoot me a message on Instagram @therealjamieg... I can connect you with a friend in honors as well as FRI!
Hey Alana, I just got admitted to Harpur for Computer Science & FRI ! Did you find anything out a year later ?
@@BrisaniAshley Hey there. Sorry, but I actually went to a different school instead.
@@alana7530 wow lol what made you chose your mind ?
How many AP classes did you need to take to graduate undergrad in 3 years?
Noah Kashman honestly it all depends! Every major has different requirements of what you need to take. I’m an English major which is only 10 classes plus general education requirements. I came in with 12 credits (2 APs and a college class) and took a few summer and winter classes to get to how I’m graduating. But I also switched my major so a lot of my freshman year classes didn’t help me. So it all depends, however if you want to graduate in 3 years an advisor can definitely help you map that out!
can you choose which room you want to stay in? for example if you want to reside in a suite can you get a say in which suite it is and how many roommates you have?
Yes! When you sign up for housing, you are given a time slot in which you go onto the housing portal and pick where you want to live. This is first come-first serve. So, you can go on and pick a suite in any community but you will be limited to what is open when your time slot happens. Does this help?
Jamie Goerke yes thank you so much😁 , so let’s say i wanted to reside in the 4 single suite.. it’s totally an option?
Hendrix Cru it’s definitely an option but given that it’s a popular choice for current students who have already done housing, there might not be a lot of them left.
Jamie Goerke ahhh , okay. that’s understandable. thank you 🏌🏽♀️
Wth it’s only 26k a year? I go to a university in a less populous state and it’s 32k how does that work 😭😭
So we are classified as a state college meaning if you are a New York resident for at least a year you pay 26k because we do get federal and state funding. But I do not believe International or students from other states pay 26k . On our website, International and Out of State Residents actually pay close to 44k to 45k. The reason being is that they do not pay taxes so the state and university are trying to make up what they would have paid in taxes if they were In-State Residents. This is what I learned in my financial literacy class hope it helps.
exactly!
I have a question. Do you know anything about the Linguistic major and study abroad programs?
Hi! I have friends in linguistics so I can definitely get you some answers! Dm me on insta @therealjamieg, it will be easier to talk there :)
Hi, I just got accepted I want to ask how is the pre-med program at Binghamton?
Hi! Follow me on insta @therealjamieg and I can set you up to talk to one of my pre-med friends!
@@JamieGoerke ok thank you
Hello, I just got waitlisted at Binghamton as a CS major in Watson. I’m planning to write a loci, is there anything else I can do to show that I have the utmost interest in attending?
Hi! So I am not an admissions counselor and therefore can't give the best advice here. However, I would assume talking to your specific admissions counselor would help, and you can find that person here: www.binghamton.edu/admissions/contact/counselor.html. Again, I am not a counselor and therefore not sure what they look for, but I hope the best for you!
wait idk if I got waitlisted but it says that I'm going to go to bing during the spring of 2021...not fall of 2020.. did you get the same thing?
Louise Xie no that means you got accepted, but for spring admission
Louise Xie this means you were a spring admit! It means you start in the spring rather than the fall.
@@JamieGoerke okay also for the admission initial deposit to accept the offer, I have to pay like$350.is that the original price or am I just paying extra?
Hey , are freshmans allowed to park in campus ?
Gaby VLone hey! Freshman are only allowed to park/have cars on campus if they’re commuters or if they’re in the Binghamton Advantage Program.
Jamie Goerke Thanks that was helpful!
what do u mean when u say research based major
Hogger 456 so a large focus of science classes have a research component to getting ur degree. For example, the psych major you have to do some seminar/research-type class. With a Major like neuroscience, you start by taking intro Chem and bio. These classes can be really difficult and that’s because they want to weed people off the pre-med track and into the research labs. Does this make sense?
This is so helpful! OmG. I still got some questions can we text more on Instagram?
Maame Kesewaa yes! Shoot me a message @therealjamieg
I didn’t get into SOM but I got into Harpur. Is it impossible to transfer in after a year?
Yes! You can definitely transfer schools within the university! You can find more information about that here: www.binghamton.edu/admissions/apply/current/iut-som.html
In the same boat, we can transfer for our spring semester.
