About Us

The idea for a Non-Traditional Student blog at Binghamton University came from our Non-traditional students. Their hope is to provide a welcoming environment for each non- traditional student. In this blog you will find their opinions and suggestions for how to succeed here at Binghamton University, and have an avenue for how we can help each other.  We hope you will also find a sense of camaraderie.

The opinions expressed by the bloggers are theirs alone, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the university. If you want to see if Binghamton University is a good fit for you as a non-traditional student and want to read about the students who are here now, and how they work to balance their responsibilities and academics, then read on and join us!
