This is a public Ivy and Chuckie CheeseBrightOther
This is a public Ivy and Chuckie Cheese is a Four SeasonsThis is an Ivy-Hotel 6 is a Ritz and this is a best buy and Kmart/Walmart is elegent shoping. This is a research university and the local vet is a place to have open heart surgery. Wonnerful wonnerful place to get an education. Some people may disagree but we al think it is much better than a mail order diploma. buy one of those sun lights so that you do not get depressed for the 10 months of cold dreary weather and the 2 months of warm dreary weather. You can go on vacation and visit the sun if you really feel a need like that. Real students don't worry about how a university looks or whats its like. If you get educated then thats whats the important point right.

Question
The school is very inexpensive and that isUndecided
The school is very inexpensive and that is a very good plus in my book. You will be happier with realistic expectations cause the cheapness of the school is a plus and it helps to want to get the hell out of here That is why Binghamton has such a high percent of the students graduating in 4 years. Who in hell's name would want to stay an extra second? You will be happy if you do not have any other expectations beyond getting a diploma. Students who are not positive may have read some of the press about the school and been disappointed when they did not experience what they thought. Students have called this a public IVY. It is public but that is as close a comparison as you can make. It is not Harvard, Yale, not even Queens! Is there a Newalk Tech. It would be more like that. It is a large public no-name university where students are treated like numbers, the campus has got to be the ugliest in the country looking more like a NY state middle school than a college and the town is just a dump. The weather is gray and cold. The town is economically depressed and most of the town is older than 85. It has the largest population over 85 in the state. If you like geriatrics and want to study depression, Binghamton is an excellent place except for the lousy people teaching in those particular topics.

Question
The IVY league issueBrightNursing
The IVY league issue seems to be more important at times to staff and comparing themselves to other institution rather than focusing on the mission of producing confident/competant people. Be prepared to give up your life and didicate it solely to your course work.
