Binghamton University gives students a unigque chance to spend time in a community in this country that is devastated by unbelievable poverty and hopelessness-and then to be able to leave the area. It furfills every idea you had about Appalachian Mountain region without having to leave the northeast. After even a short time here students gain an appreciation of every other place. A few months here and you will think of places like Trenton and Newark New Jersey or Toldeo Ohio or Detroit and Flint as prosperous beautiful places filed with fun things to do. Here the only growth industry is poverty but it is created in great amounts and the word is that there will be no shortages of it in the future. People here are so old that you will leave thinking Boca is restricted to young'uns. So you may want to experience this if you want to study health and disease, sociology, gerintology, and anything along those lines. The university is a cold impersonal place so you can really feel great when you leave. If you plan to work in a huge corporation and have a cubicle, this place will be great training. It is also a place you can get great use of your winter clothes. With snow from September to May and rain from June to September you never have to worry about draught or sun burn.
