A place where all the super-elite fuckbags from NYC (who live with their heads up their collective asses because "It's NYC dooood!, it doesn't sleep!") send their disinfranchised children with their brand spanking new cars to school because they spent the better part of their high school career neck deep in bong water. Since their too fucking ignorant or poor to get into NYU...Rich mommy and daddy send them upstate to a state school where they can bitch and moan about such mundane things as the weather while pulling out another 50 bucks off mommy's credit card to buy pot and cocaine for another evening of "Who can kill themselves quicker"
We don't like you either fuckers.

So tell me something I don't know. Tell me something that doesn't only perpetuate counterproductive, negative sentiments. You're in college for fuck's sake. Stop crying about it as if you're in high school and whining that there's not a damn thing you can do to change your stance in this world. You can do whatever the hell you want. You can destroy your body with liquor and drugs AND contract STD's in the alley of the Rat. You may want to keep in mind, however, that your parents are investing a shitload into you regardless of your continual insistence that you should be at Cornell. Newsflash: They didn't fucking want you. Now suck it up and make the most of the situation you got. We have become a generation of Who Has It Worse and we just don't care what anyone else has to say. We know it all already: that life in Bumblefuck Binghamton sucks and people are so predictable it hurts. But here is what we really are: self-absorbed and depressed nutcases. And it's a damn shame. We cannot wait to relay our tales of woe so that we can say "I have it worse." There's never any "how can I make it better?" So in that case, drop out of this awful fucking school and get a job somewhere. Start the process early. However should you choose to make the most of it, stop worrying about the Japs of Binghamton, donate your actual time helping someone out, and then tell me you've only begun to discover the meaning of life.
(Binghamton is a horrible, horrible, horrible place! The sky is perpetually gray and everyone wears their Diesels and solows like it's their job).

A commonly mispelled city in upstate new york that is often called Binghampton. Binghamton is a roughly terrained city that is part of the triple cities. Any area that once strived on factories such as EJ Shoes, IBM, Universal and a cigar manufacturing plant. Binghamton is the second rainiest city in the United states besides Seattle Washington. Binghamton is surrounded the towns of Johnson City, Endicott, Endwell, Vestal and Owego. Most people tend to hate Binghamton for many reasons. Some complain of Poverty and a self-destructing Political Infrastructure, Some blame weather, some blame the loss of IBM and EJ and others blame snotty college kids as their problems. The real problem remains that people can't understand that all factories are being outsourced, we need the college for financial reasons, our "stupid" spedie fest brings tourism and poverty can be found in all cities. If you think we are bad, look at other towns all along our area. Cities/Towns such as Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and Utica. Those towns have also lost much of their momentum. As for the weather, we cannot change it, so you might as well move if you can't stand it. Most of the problems Binghamton has, is going to be equally existant in every other city across the nation. Many just haven't experienced what it is like to actually live in a town with nothing to do, or even a town where the crime rate eliminates your choice to do what there is to do. So yea, you'll find out.
Binghamton has things to do. Such as Binghamton Senators Games, BCC Ice Center, Rudins Farm Days, BC Open, Spedie Fest and Balloon Rally, BU Bearcats Games, Broome-Tioga Motocross Nationals, Tioga Speedway, Owego Skatepark, Cheri Lindsey BMX, Binghamton Skatepark, East Coast Terminal, FBM Bike Factory, HCS Skatepark, Chris Thater Memorial Races, Binghamton Mets Games, Watermans Center, Ross Park Zoo, Discovery Center, Skate Estate, Roberson Center, Jackson Pumpkin Farm, Tioga Gardens, Iron Kettle Farms, an hour from Cliff Jumping in Ithaca, BC Jets Football

Small city where i grew up, while boring it's much better than Elmira and the surrounding cities. There are things to do, you just have to lokk around a little bit.

People in Hancock, Upstate (yes I'm not even giving them the dignity of having 'New York' after their town, I'm from the city) think that Binghamton is a big city.

I lived in the "Greater Binghamton Area" for 18 years. After having lived in both Binghamton and New York City, I know that it's all what you make of it. There's just as many dirty places and just as many clean places(percentage-wise). Just as many upity snobs, just as many nice, down-to-earth people. NYC even has beautiful rolling hills like binghamton's, they're just farther away. It's all about perspective. In summation, Binghamton is really just NYC scaled down...ALOT.
