There is a valley in New York State, where the Chenango and Susquehanna Rivers merge; this is, Binghamton, NY. The birthplace of IBM, and home of the spiedie (more on that later), the Greater Binghamton area is surrounded by the beauty that New York State is known for.
Binghamton is part of the Greater Binghamton area, encompassing Broome and Tioga counties. And it’s home to Binghamton University, recognized for its value by both Forbes and Money Magazine, and celebrated year after year as one of the top 40 public universities by U.S. World & News Report. The University and its students keep the area vibrant and youthful.
