It's the seventh most cloudiest city in the US and the tenth rainiest city in the US.

cold hell with shitty schools and sky cocaine

a sketchy city in upstate new york known for massive amounts of pot smoking, beer pong, and speidie sauce. It has a lot of carousels, city parks (for sketchy things), and is home to a retarded cowboy that roams the streets at night. it makes for a great place to grow up.

If you don't enjoy whining, then I suggest you do not attend this school. In fact, you should kill yourself right now because whining will occur anywhere and everywhere you go. People will always find ways to whine about anything. If you like beautiful mountain valleys, smoking marijuana, sitting quietly with your hands folded, sleeping, and eating (actually just eating), then Binghamton is the place for you. There are cool people here and if you are a cool person, chances are you will attract another cool person, and that person will already be attached to another cool person, so eventually you can form a gang of cool people. If you are not a cool person, join a fraternity. If you get bored, go to LateNite and play Dance Dance Revolution. Masturbate in the library, both libraries, preferably with your TA on the other side of the cubicle. Indeed, many of the professors went to Ivy League schools themselves but they will never be pretentious dicks about it. So no matter how smart, how cool, or how hungry you are, you will always have an opportunity to show it at Binghamton University but most likely you will be ignored.

Once booming model industrial city in the 1950's and 60's which, like many cities in New York State not supported by the capital generated by NYC, has seen a mass exodus of businesses and large-scale population loss.

Where people from NYC and Long Island send their children to attend college if they didn't get into the Ivy League University of their choice. Many of these individuals will then spend the entirety of their next four years either on campus, on the Vestal Parkway, or on State Street, from which they will draw vastly overgeneralized conclusions and constantly gripe about how shitty Binghamton is, as they walk around with a false sense of entitlement.

Where people from Deposit, Windsor, Kirkwood, etc go when they want to experience "The Big City", which entails dad getting gussied up in his "dress camo" and Dale Sr. hat and taking the family out to a fancy dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. This is one of the two sub-groups of people from which the ego-maniacal L.I. SUNY student will draw his opinion of Binghamton writ large. See also: Walmart.

Binghamton is also inhabited by the townie, who has been bred, since birth, to bitch about being stuck in Binghamton (while making no attempt to leave), despise the unwarranted elitism of the SUNY student, and abuse drugs and alcohol. The average townie can outdrink most people, and probably has "a guy" if you need to cop some blow.

Growing up Gotti wanna-be's with blowouts and unbuttoned dress shirts with no undershirt, State Street sluters wearing tube tops and mini-skirts in the middle of January, cokeheads, overt racists, J.A.P.S., faggot frat boys, unfulfilled potential, boarded-up store fronts.

Beautiful weather from May through October, Lots of good folks who will be bigger than the town they were born in, Basketball outside during the summer, Bar-hopping during the summer when there's no SUNY crowd, proximity to Syracuse and NYC.

An overpopulated truck stop.
