Housing Types

Types of Housing at Binghamton

When starting the ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ housing application, all students are required to select their preferred Housing Type. ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓÆµ offers two types of housing:

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. 

2. All Gender Housing 

If you choose this option, you will pair with roommates, share living spaces and bedrooms, 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. 

By selecting All Gender Housing, you agree 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. 

Important reminders about housing types

  • 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.
  • When searching for roommates in the housing portal, you will only be able to find and pair with others who have selected the same housing type. 
    During room selection, you will only see rooms that match your housing type.
  • Prior to the start of room selection, you may return to the housing application to make changes to your housing type. 
  • We strongly encourage you to be certain of your housing type decision before selecting your room.
