The State University of New York Binghamton
“I would just like to say that choosingQuite BrightPolitical Science
I would just like to say that choosing Binghamton University for my undergraduate career was the worst decision I could have EVER and I mean EVER made. Due to the general attitude of the professors I can honestly say that I wasn't even remotely interested in attending, quite frankly, ANY of my classes until my senior year. The social life at Binghamton is horrible, to put in mildly. If you are not from Long Island or NYC...DO NO GO TO BINGHAMTON!!!! You will NOT enjoy the people you go to school with...because you are a REAL PERSON and have interests other than getting wasted 5 nights a week and shopping 24-7. If you are intersted in Greek Life do not go to Binghamton...as the frat boys are jokes and the sorority sisters are SLUTS. As far as the town itself, its honestly not that bad, it could be worse. The only problem is no one from the community is interested in interacting with you because of the negative connotation that you receive as being a BU student. Like I said earlier.... waste of time!!!!!!

“I have never regretted any decision I madeQuite BrightPolitical Science
I have never regretted any decision I made in my life more than that to attend Binghamton University. Besides from being in a terrible town and being a very ugly campus, the people are very unfriendly and no one is intellectual. No one wants to be here -- and rightfully so. This place sucks. The campus cops crack down on even the slightest misbehavior. Everything is a police issue. Thus, there are no parties on campus. If you want to have fun, you have to go to shitty bars downtown like 3 miles away.

“The weather here will drive you to suicide.BrightComputer Science
The weather here will drive you to suicide. The food is so bad itll suck body weight off you like a concentration camp. Institutionally the campus is dead on the weekends. The food court (where all the edible food is, as opposed to the dining halls) is basically closed on weekends, the library doesn't open til 4pm on Sunday and closes around 7 on fri night. The bookstore also has ridiculously limited hours. I'm outta here as soon as I turn 21 because the only reason I'm still here is so I can drink underage at frat parties.
I've been looking at this website on this snowy day at SUNY Vestal and banging my head against a wall every time I read people's reviews of great urban colleges like Fordham and NYU and jealous as they rant and rave about NYC and how great it is. Save it for Frank Sinatra your just making me regret going to school in the middle of f***ing nowhere. In fact Frankie should have written a song that goes "Bing-Bing-Bingham-TON! It's the city... where all there's to do is drink! Da da! Da da! Da da!"
