BU - Law School?
17. November 2007 by MrBobC.
BU is apparently planning on opening up a law school, joining UB and CUNY. This is a great idea because it adds to the availability of law schools at a decent price as well as being a midpoint between UB and CUNY. Having a law school at Binghamton will help keep people here for their education, as in fall 2006, 221 BU students were admitted to law schools, thus leaving Binghamton University. If BU had a law school, we could retain (I would hope) most of those students and get students from other colleges who have heard of Binghamton University, this most prestigious of public universities in New York. Of course, everything is still just talk and no real planning has been done. Although it is a magnificent idea, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.http://pressconnects.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071117/NEWS01/711170330
Thanksgiving… Yummerz
8. November 2007 by Jean Santiago.
Thanksgiving is coming in two weeks! The best part for me is the pumpkin pie!! But for those of you who don’t enjoy the cinnamon treat, you might want to head down to Manhattan for the Thanksgiving day parade.
Here are some photos of the parade from a year ago.
Our Local Astronaut, Doug Wheelock
7. November 2007 by MrBobC.
Life in Binghamton. Oxymoron? You be the judge. I’m Bob Sea, and I am enrolled in Binghamton University’s MBA program. We have some interesting things in Binghamton (and the surrounding areas). For instance, we have Doug Wheelock. Doug is an astronaut from Windsor, NY, near Binghamton. He arrived back on Earth today from space and is very safe. I will be doing a tribute to Doug, as my father and he were friends some years ago. Said tribute will be held at the Oakdale Mall in Johnson City, NY at 6:15PM on Monday, November 12th in front of JCPenney’s. The tribute will include a newly-fashioned song for the occasion, “Where Else But In America” and will be sung by me, Bob Sea, and the 4th and 5th grade Rainbow Chorus of the CR Weeks Elementary school (where Doug went) and will be telecast live on the WIVT Channel 34 news. Come on down and show your support for our local astronaut! More details on my website, http://www.bobsea.com. Doug Wheelock
Life at Binghamton University in November
7. November 2007 by admin.
Now that the clocks have been set back we are all set for the dark cold month of November. It seems to happen almost out of nowhere that if you have any class at 5:00PM or later when you get out it feels like its past midnight. I have actually gotten out of class at 7:30 and not known weather it was late at night or early in the morning. Luckily November is only one month of the year and soon there will be snow to make up for the lack of daylight.
Happy Halloweenie!

Well its been an interesting world series so far. I did not think that the Rockies would perform as poor as they have. Lets hope for a competitive game 4!

I think the best and most interesting way to convey student life in Bing is by regularly submit some random photos here (with captions).
Dorms
One of the best parts of college is never EVER having your own space!
Here is my room when I was a sophomore during my undergrad in Mountain View.
Notice the millions of little nick nacks - the cramped space - my corner of the room.
Here is my room, well, last year. Oh, the joy of my OWN bathroom and my OWN room. Oh and minus the clutter.
On a final note:
Winter
Well, we are lacking some Fall weather right now, but Winter will definitely come… and here is a preview of our slushy future.
76 Degrees on October 22

Wow what is going on with the weather today. It is almost the end of October and the weather has been surprisingly warm. The normal weather for this time of the year shoud be 50 degreees and raining instead its 76 and sunny. It makes it much harder to work when the weather is so nice. Well that binghamotn for you I have no doubt that the rest of the week will be cold and rainy to make up for the nice weather we are having. Well I am off to enjoy the ret of this beautiful day.
