The State University of New York Binghamton

Date: Dec 31 1969
Major: Education (This Major's Salary over time)
I arrived at SUNY-Binghamton in early 2001 after graduating from a large Mid-Western school. I expected great things out of SUNY-B but was disappointed from the very start.

To begin with the campus is very grim and depressing and consists mostly 1960's architecture (lots of bland and boring concrete). There is absolutely no school spirit and I found many of the students to be self absorbed and arrogant. Unfortunately life does not get any better once you get off campus, Binghamton is a giant shithole which is totally unfriendly to students. When I planned on moving to the area lots of people told me to move to the West Side of Binghamton, than god I did not follow that advise because otherwise I would have been living in the middle of ghetto.

central.

As for my degree I found it not worth the time and money. While some of the professors were excellent these were few and far between and the great majority were unhelpful and condescending. There was one class I took the first semester and too this day I have no idea what the class was really about, it seemed like education for the sake of education and yet somehow I ended up getting an A in the class.

In the end I did get my masters degree but felt that it did not prepare me at all for my career. To this day I regret attending SUNY-Binghamton and wish I had stayed at my big Mid Western school.
