Binghamton for Dummies

Alright, so “Binghamton” is a name of a place—a city, actually, in the state of New York. It’s like saying “New York City” or “Los Angeles,” but this one is specifically for a city called Binghamton. Imagine it like calling your own city by its name, you know? So, when people talk about Binghamton, they’re talking about this specific place in New York.

And you know what’s cool? Binghamton is also a name for a university! It’s called Binghamton University, and it’s in the same city as the one I just talked about. So, when someone says they go to Binghamton, they might be talking about the city itself or the university. It’s like how when someone says they go to Harvard, they could be talking about the university or the city of Harvard, but in this case, it's all about Binghamton.

So, to sum it up, “Binghamton” can refer to a city in New York and also to a university. It’s a specific name for a specific place, just like how your name is specific to you. Just like if I say “Hey, Sarah!” and I’m talking to a specific Sarah, when people say “Binghamton,” they’re talking about a specific place or university. Does that make sense to you?
