Summer Housing

Summer housing is available May 27-Aug 10

Summer housing is only available to students who have a direct University-related summer affiliation. Although space is limited, Summer housing is available for both Binghamton University students and non-Binghamton University students who are taking summer courses and/or engaging in University-sponsored programs or research which requires being on campus for the Summer.

  • Term 1 housing dates: May 27-July 2

All Summer housing is in the Apartments Community. Students living in Summer housing will be assigned by Residential Life and should expect to share an apartment with other Summer residents.

Apartment-style living

Apartment style living is an independent living experience in which students are self-sufficient with respect to cooking, cleaning, etc.

Our apartments are fully furnished and offer single bedrooms with a shared living room, bathroom, and kitchen. Kitchens contain a full-sized refrigerator, stove/oven, sink, and cabinets. Students provide their own microwave (less than 1,000 watts) if they want one. Automatic dishwashers are not permitted. 

While the apartments are furnished, students do need to provide their own bedding, cooking items (pots, pans, plates/utensils, etc.) as well as paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags and cleaning products. See our What to Bring guide for more details.

Most apartments do not have air conditioning. Students are welcome to bring fans but air conditioners are not permitted.

Laundry

Laundry room locations are different for each building but are generally on the ground floor. You may need card access. Laundry facilities are free but residents need to bring their own detergent.
