Get the Binghamton, NY mug.Perhaps I am the first Long Islander to say good things about Binghamton and the University. In fact, I turned down an offer from Cornell to come here because it doesn't really matter where you go to undergrad once you are considering colleges on the level of Binghamton and up. The school pours a bunch of money into my Bioengineering department and almost all my teachers have degrees from MIT and Harvard (and Tokyo Uni) so why should I pay another 30 grand a year. I'll save the money for grad school when it really matters. Oh yeah, then there is also the fact that 80% of CEOs today went to public school (like the guy who currently runs Disney). University is just a tool and a background. It doesn't make you successful, it just gives you a few opportunities to have you help yourself.
Yes the weather sucks in the winter, but it is beautiful in the summer time. You can't see mountains like this on Long Island. Additionally there are a number of cultural events that go on in Bing all the time. Lucia Di Lammermoor, came here to do Opera and there is the Speedie Fest and such in August I think. There is one vintage thrift shop downtown that designers from Manhattan come to to steal ideas and resell for 10x the price.
So while Bing is no Manhattan, its no bumblefuck either. Additionally, Cornell should be nicer if you are going to pay thirty thousand extra dollars a year. For that amount of money, they should powder your balls (like the gentleman below indicated of Long Islanders).
I had a friend who went to University of Hawaii at Manoa which is much lower ranking than Binghamton (but hey its Hawaii) and he went to Yale for physics for grad school, so who the fuck cares where he went for undergrad.
Stop bitching and take control of your life. Then get shitfaced

Get the dirty bingham mug.ive lived in bing my whole life and the thing that sucks the most about it is all the stuck up long island fucks that go to BU and do nothing but bitch about how bad binghamton is. If you don't like it fucking transfer, no one here will miss your gay asses.Bing sucks, but it's def not the worst, look at alot of schools in small towns in the middle of nowhere like oneonta, fredonia, etc... now that shit sucks...at least we have shit to do. Go home and take your fat girls in tiny skirts and toolbags w/ unbuttoned dress shirts w/ no shirts on underneath and spiky hair with you.

Get the binghamton mug.An absolute shithole surrounded by trailer parks (lots of them) and white-trash. Poverty. Ignorance. Beer-bellies and camoflauge. Women are overweight and just plain nasty. People from NJ are assholes? I've never encountered such a rude bunch in my life, and I've lived in 4 states, NJ included. People are just miserable. Advance Auto Parts is a zoo, full of broke-ass, rusting off the frame, 20 year old Chevy pickup trucks with their hoods up fixing their pieces in the parking lot so they can get on with their pathetic lives. Area is full of side-of-the-road redneck car dealerships run by a bunch of crooks. I've never seen so many people without teeth, or the ones they have left are rotting. Everyone smokes. Extreme uneducation. This includes the surrounding areas as well. Broome County is one of the poorest counties in the nation, #30 to be exact. A lot of petty crimes and drunks. NOT an area you move to to get ahead in life!!! Just look in the local classifieds...if you do find a job it's most likely blue-collar, no education required at an unliveable pay-scale. The pay here is ridiculously low. Real estate is worth NOTHING. If you want to cling to the lower rungs of society, move to the Southern Tier!!!
