Super Occupancy Housing
Super Occupancy Housing (SOH) is a temporary configuration of 3 students within a design double room. While this may not be an ideal arrangement, it is a temporary one in order to house all of our new first-year students. Our goal is to move students to regular occupancy spaces as soon as possible. Find more information here.
Housing Type
When starting the housing application, all students are required to select their Housing Type. Binghamton University offers two types of housing:
Housing Type 1: Housing based on Gender Identity
- If you choose this housing type you will only be able to pair with roommates, form groups and choose rooms with others who share the same gender identity.
Information regarding gender identity and how to enter your gender identity with the university is available on the Student Records website.
Housing Type 2: Gender Inclusive Housing
- If you choose this housing type you will pair with roommates to share a bedroom, form groups and live with others who may or may not share the same gender identity; with the intention of creating a welcoming environment for all.
- Students who select Gender Inclusive Housing agree to the Gender Inclusive Housing agreement indicating their desire to live with a direct roommate of any gender identity within your bedroom. Students who only want to share a bedroom and/ or living space with others of the same gender identity should select Housing Type 1.
- Make sure to choose the housing type that is right for you. When it comes to room selection there are no advantages or disadvantages to choosing one housing type over another.

First-Year Requirement
All first-year students, regardless of credit hours earned, are required to live in University housing for their first academic year. Local students (those with an established permanent residence within a 45-mile radius of Binghamton University) are exempt from this requirement. Students 21 and older and students who are married are also exempt from this requirement. Students who meet these criteria and are seeking an exemption should email reslife@binghamton.edu.
Housing Accommodations
Binghamton University is committed to achieving equal educational opportunity and full participation for students with disabilities. Students with documented disabilities who require an accommodation in order to fully participate in the residential component of their college experience may apply for housing accommodations through Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD). Housing accommodations include, but are not limited to, visual fire alarms, first-floor rooms, elevator access, bed-height adjustments, climate control, single-rooms, and wheelchair accessible bathrooms. Residential Life has the most flexibility to work with and meet accommodations for students who apply for and receive their accommodation at least 30 days prior to the start of room selection. The SSD office will continue to accept and review housing accommodation requests beyond this timeline, but fulfillment will be based on availability. Students applying/re-applying for a housing accommodation must also participate in the housing process. For complete information, go to the Services for Students with Disabilities Housing Accommodations web page.
