<p>Binghamton hasn’t had any issues attracting faculty to its other programs. It’s bigger than Ithaca, within a few hours drive of Philadelphia and New York, but with a much lower cost of living. Charm’s in the eye of the beholder, but Binghamton is not without its charms, in my view. The area has a lot of natural beauty, as well.</p>
<p>My sixth-grade teacher predicted to me in 1969 that Binghamton would have a law school by the time I was old enough to go there. I guess his prediction was off by a good 30 years.</p>
