Our communities and residential colleges
Your home away from home
At Binghamton, our residential communities help students connect with friends and have fun while learning. Whether it's joining co-rec football on Saturday or meeting friends for a study group in the lounge, you'll make connections in any of our halls! Students choose from six residential communities, each with its own personality.
College-in-the-Woods (CIW), is centrally located, right across from the University Union. Each of the five buildings house 240-340 residents and offer both suite style and traditional corridor style living. CIW hosts several hall competitions and events as well as Casino-in-the-Woods for charity every spring. We don't call it College in the Woods for nothing, tour CIW here:
Dickinson Community
