I
am transferring out of here after this semester and am
literally counting down the days until I can leave this
horrid place. Binghamton is just such a disaster on so
many levels, being here really tests your character. There is
no school spirit whatsoever, nobody likes Binghamton or wants to
be here, it's in the middle of absolutely nowhere (and
don't underestimate how boring Upstate New York can get), the
food is horrible (even the food in the surrounding area
ain't exactly NYC, for example, I have discovered that a
delis and pizzerias are New York creations and don't exist
north of Westchester), the guys are all jackasses and think
they are the shit, the girls are all Jappy (hence
it is near-impossible to find a girlfriend here, which probably
would be one thing that might help one cope with
this place). Not only is it difficult to get a
girlfriend but even making friends is hard because everyone is
from Long Island and extremely cliquish and provincial, and have
this strange idea that anything that's not NYC or LI
is the Moon. There is no racial diversity, like half
the student body are Koreans who think they are “ghetto”,
the other half are Jews who pretend they are not
Jewish, and politically people are let's say...a little to the
left, to put it mildly (I was surprised there were
no 'Free Saddam' protests last December.) People here compare Bush
to Hitler, which is terrible because it is unfounded and
trivializes the Holocaust. The weather is dreary and cold, the
campus is a sprawling, hideous monstrocity, and just a touch
too big (a good 10-minute walk to the gym, and
long walks to class if you live in Newing or
Dickinson). Classes are harder than I expected and you really
have to have a work ethic to make it. The
administration is condescending and bureaucratic, and likes to exploit its
students (Lois DeFleur, that dirty French hag) and treat us
as though we are 5 years old (i.e. Rodger Summers)
by insulting and authoritarian alcohol policies which you will be
compelled to break due to a complete lack of city
life in this boring rural area. Even the parties suck,
they're all in shitty run-down apartments and all the girls
go in packs, so it's impossible to hook up unless
you are handsome and tall (which I'm not) because the
Long Island Japs are extremely shallow and picky, or have
boyfriends and only reveal that to you after coming onto
you for hours. Even the off-campus transportation system is sub-par,
the buses seldom come on time if at all, and
simply do not run frequently enough or late enough at
night. The only good thing I can say about
Binghamton is that it's cheap, you get 4 credits per
class, and GenEd requirements are lenient. Other than that, Binghamton
sucks, steer clear of it and all SUNY's for that
matter, you should really go to a private school unless
you really are totally flat broke. After wasting two years
of life here, I look forward to actually enjoying my
new college next year and not have to wish I
were back in high school like I did when I
was here.
