Our Communities

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 traditions, style and personality. Can't come to campus for a tour? Check our community videos and 360 tours!
