Most international students live within a short bus ride to campus. Home stays with American families are available, but on a limited, individual basis. It has been our experience that international students enjoy living in our community, especially in regards to English language development and learning about the American culture. Our international students feel that the Binghamton area offers a variety of educational and cultural activities and is a safe place to live. Our Student Health Services provides health services and counseling to all students.
Professional staff includes a part-time physician, clinic nurse, and health educator.
The Center has limited treatment at no cost to students and makes referrals to local physicians, specialists, clinics and hospitals. The Center also assists international students with claims processing and information about student health insurance and optional sickness plans. Limited dental care services are available on campus through the Dental Hygiene Department s Dental Hygiene Clinic. This student group plans a variety of cultural activities on campus and sponsors travel activities for international students such as trips to New York City, Washington, D.C. and Virginia Beach. The College also sponsors various convocations, lectures, plays, films and concerts.
