GREETINGS!
Congratulations on your admission to the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program at Binghamton University (BU), and welcome to Binghamton! We are Sigay, Mili, and Jorge, Satenik (pictured left from right). We are Binghamton University MPA Alumni, graduated in May, 2020.
We compiled the information on this page from international students' perspectives, to help you transition as easily as possible from your respective country to the U.S. Being anxious about a big change such as moving far from home is normal. However, we thought to put all the information we could think of to help you feel less stressed and anxious about the change by providing some simple, but useful information before you start your exciting journey.
We can totally relate to what you are going through because not too long ago we were at the place you are now. Our journey as international students in the MPA program at BU inspired us to come up with this information page to help you in our own small way.
Here you can find information about how to prepare for Binghamton, how to get to Binghamton from the airport, and what to do when you arrive. In addition, you will also find information on what you should do during your first week, important tips for your academic journey, and ways you can be engaged in the Binghamton area.
We hope that you find this information helpful and you are welcome to contact us if you need help. We are happy to respond to your emails or other social media messages. We wish you great learning and joy on your new journey, and we hope you will enjoy your experience.
Sigay, Mili, Jorge, Satenik, MPA peers. Binghamton, 2019
