What is your definition of a staggering majority that come from NYC and Long Island? Binghamton has stated that the current freshman class is made up from 20% Long Island and 22% from NYC which makes about 42%. Since about 2/3rds of the NYS population resides in NYC and Long Island I would say they are underrepresented. After all it’s a state school. But your point is well taken there still are a lot of students NYC/Long Island at Binghamton so if for some reason you want to get away from that crowd don’t go there. It’s just most of the good schools in the northeast both public and private have relatively high percentages of students from NYC/Long Island.
Geneseo and Binghamton are the two best SUNY’s by far with about equal academic standards and prestige. Therefore I agree with you completely that it’s not about right or wrong but all about fit. Some people will like Geneseo better then Binghamton and other will like Binghamton better than Geneseo. You need to visit each school and decide for yourself which is best for you. In either case you’ll get an excellent education for a bargain price.
