Well, it is a public university in the northeast, so the assumption isn’t terribly off-base. I was in a group chat for Bing applicants shortly before I heard back, and I can say that the students I encountered were more than a bit conceited/self-righteous, so whoever told you that is most likely not incorrect. My high school classmate who attends Binghamton, however, is most certainly not a stuck-up snob.
