<p>Oh, I want to do a double major in Russian and International Studies with a minor in Arabic</p>

<p>This is kind of an aside, but I was just curious as to your interest in Binghamton. I lived in the area for about 5 years and thought it was one of the most deppressing places on earth.....I'm always curious why people with other options choose to spend 4 of the best years of their life in that hole.</p>

<p>well chessie, I lived in Binghamton for about 7 years when I was younger (but that was back when IBM was there) so I am at least used to the place. The reason why I am interested in it academically is because of the majors and minors I am interested in. It is one of the few schools in the nation with an Arabic program as well as a Russian program. Not to mention the cheap(er) tuition, the fact that my family still has friends in that area and of course the Binghamton Mets (the first professional baseball team I ever saw :) ). So, that is why I have an interest in Binghamton. It isn't my first choice, but I would be more than happy to spend four of the best years of my life there.</p>
