Is Binghamton University still affordable?

My experience has been mostly positive. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The only thing I'd watch out for is traffic. Other than that, Happy to answer more specific questions..

Hot take but I'm still on the fence after all this time. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've been living here for 13 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The dating scene is decent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.

I'm a physical therapist and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. The community is pretty good and there's always something going on.

Moved here from Charlotte about 10 years ago. the quality of life is solid. Still getting used to cost of living but Definitely worth checking out..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value community vibe, you'll love it. The traffic is genuinely excellent and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (Old Town) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. school system is completely different here. And Urban sprawl is real.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
