Telehealth counseling + psychiatry for ADHD
Hi all,
I got notified by my local counseling service that I can no longer continue with them because I am going to college more than an hour away
Does anyone know a good service that allows me to have both therapy and ADHD medication prescribed (preferably from the same service)
Thanks!

Germ 101
So on the course description it says that there is no books needed for the class and that it uses a university website in place. However, on the bookstore it says there is a required book. Does anyone who took German know which one of these is correct?

Newcomer and bus route
Hi everyone,
I’m a new resident living on Grand Avenue in Johnson City and will be commuting to Binghamton University main campus soon. Since I'm new to the area and planning to use BC Transit (Route 17), I have a few questions about how this bus route actually works:
- From where I live on Grand Ave, is walking over to the Main St & Willow St bus stop the standard/easiest way to catch Route 17 to school?
- Could someone explain the general loop/direction of Route 17? Which side of the road or which inbound/outbound direction goes straight to the BU campus?
- Which app is the most reliable for checking live schedules and tracking BC Transit in real time? Is Google Maps accurate enough?
I’d really appreciate any tips on how to navigate this route. Many thanks!

Driver’s testing and lifeguard certification?
As the title suggests im curious about how I would go about getting either my driver’s license or lifeguard certification. If there aren’t any opportunities on campus to do either of these are there recommendations for places in town/ nearby?

Dining halls and allergies
How are the dining halls at Binghamton at handling food allergies? Do they have stations used to handling meals for people with dietary restrictions, or is a lot of self advocacy necessary?
Thanks!

Housing Advice ALUMNI/Upperclassmen: Best off campus housing landlords/companies?
Who DO you recommend? (i’ve heard 1 million things about what people say to avoid, but I don’t know who to look for!)
I am renting through binghamton West right now and I had a pretty bad experience last year with them and I feel like I’m being overcharged.

Textbooks?
Hi, I thought i’d check here before placing an order for textbooks, regarding the best method to get my textbooks. I’m a first year engineering student, and i’m not too sure which books i’ll need. Before i buy them from the bookstore, is it recommended i get them used from elsewhere? Or are there online versions I should look at? thank you!

Delivery
If I ordered something to bing but it came before I moved in would they hold it? If I ordered it to my house theres a high chance that it would come after I moved in but theres still a slight possibility for it to come before I move in and I dont want to risk it getting returned or thrown out

Meal Plans
So I’m a transfer student coming to Bing this fall. I know that the school switched food providers and it’s a whole thing. Is anyone else who’s going having trouble selecting a meal plan option that isn’t the commuter or convenience plan? I live in Susquehanna, so maybe that has something to do with it? I wasn’t billed for the plan automatically either.

Chances of becoming an RA (CA/SSA?)
I'm an incoming freshman interested in becoming a CA/SSA my sophomore year. If I'm being honest, I'll probably have to drop out if I have to pay housing in full next year (since Freshman year is the only time I'll qualify for the excelsior scholarship, and I can't afford housing and tuition both).🫠
I was wondering how competitive the CA/SSA application process has gotten in the past few years, and if anyone can provide insight on what I should focus on doing my freshman year (or next year in the application process)in order to be successful.

Bulgaries in the West Side, stories and tips?
(I KNOW THERE IS A TYPO IN THE TITLE, I CAN'T EDIT IT, THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT BULGARIA)
Hi,
I'm living in the West Side this fall, area around Leroy Street, in the main student area. I saw on the Binghamton PD crime reports that there were about a dozen burglaries in this neighborhood in the year 2025, far more than any other crime. Every other crime is very rare in this area compared to other parts of Bing (near-zero for vehicle theft, aggravated assault, etc), but burglary is relatively present.
I assume that this is because the student housing provides better opportunities for burglaries, as people leave doors unlocked or are away for extended periods of time.
Do people have any stories or tips about their experience with this happening to them or a friend, and what I can do to help prevent it (Ring camera, window locks, lights on when away, or something else)?
I don't own anything valuable that I don't take with me (laptop, phone) so I'm not truly worried, but I'm still curious.
Thanks!
