Caroline Gleichauf, a prospective student from Avon, who stayed overnight at BU in April, wasn't so sure about Binghamton's class sizes. Gleichauf visited Binghamton in April to decide between BU and St. Bonaventure University in Olean. She spent the night in Hinman College's Smith Hall with sophomore Natasha Ganesh. Ganesh took Gleichauf on a tour of campus, ate dinner with her in the dining hall and attended the Hinman Hysteria's lip-sync competition. They planned to spend the rest of the evening in the dorm watching a movie.
Hosts do have some restrictions.
They can't take their students off campus, nor can they engage in alcohol or drug use. It's been very safe. The hosts say they enjoy showing prospective students the ropes. I get to meet a lot of people. While hosts must live on campus, it is preferred they live in one of the four residential communities, Rockman said, noting that there are hosts who are just classroom hosts.
