Outdoor recreation abounds in the southeastern New York location of Binghamton University. Despite its name, the university is actually situated in Vestal, N.Y., a suburb of Binghamton. The campus includes a nature preserve, complete with a forest and pond where learners can hike, bike and run around. Through the Adventure Resource Center and the Outdoor Pursuits program, learners can participate in organized kayaking, climbing and camping trips or can plan an excursion of their own. Winter sports fans can go skiing and snowboarding at Greek Peak, a 30-mile trip from campus. On campus, annual student events include University Fest and Spring Fling, two outdoor celebrations with live music, carnival rides and food. There are more than 300 student organizations, including nearly 60 recognized fraternities and sororities.

Freshmen must live on campus. One perk of living in the school’s residence facilities: free laundry. The Binghamton Bearcats participate in the NCAA Division I America East Conference, and student fans form the BU Zoo cheering section during basketball games. The school mascot is a bearcat named Baxter. On average, more than nine in 10 learners remain at SUNY Binghamton after freshman year, one of the highest first-year retention rates in the country.

Binghamton University is ranked as one of the top schools in the state of New York. Highly ranked graduate programs include the Department of History, Department of Public Administration and Department of Psychology. In addition, the university is renowned for its sustainability efforts. Notable alumni include Madeleine Smithberg, the co-creator and former executive producer of “The Daily Show,” Andrew Bergman, the screenwriter who penned “Blazing Saddles,” and Tony Kornheiser, an ESPN commentator.
