Don't join this acappella group in campus if you're interested in singing

The Binghamton Crosbys heavily haze new members for at minimum 2 semesters and have no intention on stopping.They're basically a frat but for music people. Avoid them, join any other group if you're interested in acappella at Binghamton.

Edit: I'm mainly posting this because he refuses to report them and doesn't see it as hazing

I kinda wanna do random roommate (I’m an incoming freshman) bc it sounds more interesting. However I have heard horror stories of evil random roommates. Is this just volunteer bias?

If I were to take a class that satisfied a degree requirement that has already been satisfied, if I receive a higher grade in that class is there a way to have that put in place of that already satisfied credit to raise my major gpa? I understand that the class will continue to be a part of of my cumulative GPA but does Harper allow you to do that switch?

I am an Mech E Major who is taking calc 3 next semester. So far for Calc 1 and 2 I have had great professors and I want to continue that streak. Any suggestions?

Cross contamination. Strange side effects. Will he ever get back to work?

Hi everyone!

I’ve already committed to Bing but I am now having second thoughts. I’m from upstate NY but also grew up in the city, and have definitely been missing an urban atmosphere. I did not get to tour either campus :(

I’m admitted as a chemistry major and I’m looking to do research. I did not get invited to FRI (unless they’re still sending invites out; if anyone knows if there’s a way to still be invited, please lmk!!) and I’m not sure how easy it is to come across research (but I have heard it’s competitive). I am not sure if I am headed the pre-med route or any other route.

The difference in cost is roughly $8k/year, which is manageable because I also have outside scholarships as well.

Also, I’m wondering if there are any nice stores or places near campus that are within walking distance (e.g. restaurants, stationery stores, shopping).

Thanks!

I am staying at Bing this summer and all of my friends left for their hometown. Does anyone have any suggestions for best way to meet new people besides drinking? Are there any clubs that are still active?
Thanks!

Possibly got put on probation just for doing not so good in just one class. I feel like now all the faculty hate me there.

Hi guys. I want to break my lease and my landlord wasn’t happy about it/is refusing to help me find a replacement (which is illegal). So I called code enforcement to come look at my house. and they said “yeah, this room is not a legal room” (that is, my room does not meet the square footage requirements for a legal room). I said “can I get that in writing?” And they were like well no, this is our initial assessment, and then we go and look at the property records. And if this isn’t a room, and he didn’t have permits to make this (the attic) into rooms, that’s a problem.

I have a feeling that my landlord illegal converted the attic space into three bedrooms (with ceilings and windows that do not meet size/height requirements). Will this actually be enforced? Will they say “okay you have to get out now” (if it’s found to be illegal?). Is this a slap on the wrist thing? Can I leverage this to get out of my lease? Is calling code enforcement common? Has anyone else done this before and also what happens next??

I know the report will be sent to my landlord (and he will 100% know it’s me who called code enforcement…) and I was told that I can also request a copy of the report because I was the one who called. (Anyway. Everyone should do this!! They also found the smoke detectors had dead batteries and there need to be carbon monoxide detectors in each room).

Advice appreciated!

How realistic is it to get out of the waitlist by now?

im set to attend baruch this fall their accounting program and im already having thoughts about transferring to bing som, i heard baruch accounting program is very rigorous, cut throat, and their bell curve. what are the professors at baruch like compared to bing accounting program, and also their clubs and events. is the accounting work easier than baruch as ik baruch accounting program is very difficult for no reason. i wanna hear experiences from both sides

Got off the waitlist less than a week ago, and I'm realizing I'm far behind 😭 Fall '26 class registration is over I think, so I emailed admissions to see what I'm supposed to do. I'm also aiming for mechanical engineering, and I'm realizing there's a placement test for that, and I'm trying to see what to do, and the links are not working, and I promise you Bing I don't have Tuberculosis, and i gotta send my SAT scores, and signing up for orientations and finding the right dates... yeah it's been a lot. Anybody else going through it like this 🙏

I plan on doing more research on this but is there any chance I can join a volunteer fire department while also attending Bing?

Also if it is possible that I can join one, since I’m also going to be a first year student I’m not going to have a car so is there any way I can bring my car with me because I’m not sure how I would be able to attend the calls.

Show me the bear. Thanks!
