I don't know if you have ever been to Binghamton University, so please forgive me if you have.

It's a nice campus that has improved a lot over the years. There is a nature preserve above the campus. The library tower is the tallest building on campus, and you can use that as a reference point if navigating around the grounds.

Extremely competitive school. Challenging, but fun.

It's located in Vestal, NY, on Route 434, which is also known as the Vestal Parkway. They recently installed a long pedestrian walkway that enables one to walk to Binghamton if so desired.

There's a ton of businesses along the parkway, and it gets more and more developed by the minute.

There are a lot of food options here.

If you like Italian, try Oaks Inn in Little Italy in Endicott. Maybe a 10 minute drive from BU, on Oak Hill Avenue. You would likely need a reservation.
