Like what has been said in most other reviews, Binghamton is a good deal. It is a good school, but it is not known outside of NY. I transfered here from community college and in some ways I regret doing so. I would have prefered to have gone to NYU or GWU, but I could not afford it. Binghamton is cold and ugly, it rains or snows everyday, and you feel completley isolated from the rest of the world while you are here. Many students are pretentious. Those who are not fall into several other categories- The first and probably the worst is the Guitos. These are your typical western Long Island wannabe frat boys, who are roided out and entire wardropes consist abercrombie and fitch. When they are not at school, you can find them at their day job at Hollister Co. The girls are just as bad, they look like characters from the sopranos- perms hairspray and all. The second is the Asians. This group sticks together. Dont even bother trying to ask an asian girl out. The third is the nerds. They spend all their time either playing Halo or in front of the computer with a box of tissues by their side. Finally, there is sorority girls w/ beer bellies. Not very hot, infact they are disgusting, beware of BU girls.

So really the social life is terrible,most people I know wouldnt want to be in any of those groups. But if you are willing to do the work and just get through the terrible college experience here at Binghamton, you will have a good shot at getting into a top law/medical school when you're done. Just dont expect good company while you are here.
