the location of binghamton is quite unique. it far enough away from nyc but its close enough that the influence of companies and corporation can be felt. another unique aspect is the campus design, everything seems to be well thought out where each is. the mix of schoolwork and pleasure is also quite unique, everyone has school first but you can really have a good time whatever your social niche is.

Binghamton is basically the good SUNY school that doesnt cost that much. If you come with an open mind then you will be fine. All the good and bad experiences you learn from and even if you dont like it you realize that you left a place learning how to adapt to differences. Meet people, meet professors, graduate students, sit down to a conference and you will realize that college involves the balance of intellect/academia and frat parties/booze.
