There’s a mall, a wal-mart, all the usual retailers. There’s movie theaters, late night activities, whatever. Half the schools ends up in downtown Binghamton on the weekends.

There’s a block with seven bars on it, and there are just as many within walking distance of that area. This is where the majority of people (freshmen through seniors) end up going on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Main attractions include…

The Rat (grimy basement bar, cheapest drinks, hottest bartenders, best music, lets everyone in)
Sports Bar (slightly older, slightly more strict, large, one part bar, one part club)
Tony’s (juniors and seniors, slightly more expensive)
Mad Moose (older, classier crowd, expensive drinks. newest place in town)

Other then that there’s JTs, Boca Joe’s/Flashbacks, Tom & Marty’s, Dillinger’s, Liquid, Club V, and a bunch of townie bars (The Belmar, Fitzies, On The Roxx, Scoreboard, Thirsty’s). There’s also The Ale House, near campus, but that’s not a place to go if you’re a freshman.
