Binghamton. There's like nothing to do there except go to bars, and it's cold af to be honest. One night I wanted to do karaoke and when my friends told me there was not a single karaoke place my jaw dropped. Once a place has no karaoke, I'm sorry, it just ain't gonna work out for me...
Wow I went to Binghamton for a few semesters, I actually like the city of Binghamton (Vestal, not so much) but I wouldn't want to live there. But I wouldn't completely knock upstate based off your experience, there are plenty of cities upstate that are significantly more developed than Binghamton.
There's a couple of cool restaurants, but other than that it's mehhh. Maybe I will aprecciate it more when I turn 21 or at least until someone gives me a free fake ID haha

It's okay, it never really feels like home tho. I miss NYC like mad when Im up there. I think maybe I could check out Rochester one day, it seems interesting ^^

I enjoyed my time there, it's a completely different experience than what I'm used to. But I totally understand missing your home city, I'm sure it happens to a lot of people who go away for college
I think Binghamton would be better if it simply had a larger population, it would develop more and there would be more to do. Maybe it will happen due to the ridiculously high rent in NYC.
When I decided to move out of NYC two years ago (the rent being too damn high) I considered upstate but in the end decided against it for my particular circumstances and criteria.
I found the biggest obstacle for me in moving out of NYC is that I was completely adjusted to a car-free lifestyle. I don't have one now.
