SUNY Broome Community College is a public community college in Broome County, New York. It is part of the State University of New York (SUNY). The college was founded in 1946 and has gone through several name changes. The school is located in the Town of Dickinson, just north of the City of Binghamton, New York. The college had a 2010 enrollment of over 6,000 students and has alumni of over 41,000.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying in the Southern Tier — at just $8,035/year net price and a median debt of only $7,727, this is one of the more affordable paths to a degree or transfer. The honest concern is the earnings picture: graduates typically earn around $35,100 a decade out, which is modest and worth weighing against your specific career goals. If you're planning to transfer to a four-year school or enter a trade/technical field locally, the value proposition is solid; if you're expecting a high-earning career straight from a two-year degree, manage those expectations carefully.
