I have to agree with Thackl, I lived in Syracuse for 18 yrs, and didnt enjoy most of it, it is much better than binghampton (since there is nothing at all there anyways) but the 'cuse is pretty crappy when it comes to weather and dont expect to see the sun, but I would rather live there than Binghamton any day. But I live in TX now too, so come on done! the weather is better and the tuition is cheaper, thats why I changed my residency to with my mom who has lived here for 4 yrs....I like it better than CNY for sure!
