Residential Life Residential Life Binghamton's Residential Life program houses approximately 5,000 residents through a system of five residential colleges and communities. We attempt to develop communities that appreciate diversity and celebrate differences. In many ways, the residential areas provide a small college atmosphere that minimizes the anonymity of a University setting of approximately 12,000 students.
Resident assistants live on the floor and provide individual help to students.
In addition to the residence staff, the residential colleges have a faculty member who holds the position of Faculty Master. The Faculty Master, along with the assistant director and residence hall staff, design an academic and social program for the residential area. The apartment communities are staffed by an assistant director and a community director. Each of the residential colleges and communities brings to the campus its unique programs and environment through support services, social programs and educational opportunities for residents. Special interest housing modules include floors or clusters of rooms devoted to computers, robotics and engineering, fitness, visual and performing arts, musical arts, community service and an international house.
