Certain Factors are only relevant to the students of Binghamton.  Here are a few.  You know you're a Binghamton student when...

• You've either broken down or heard a sexually explicit story in Gordy's cab.
• You'd be willing to leave the bars early if someone mentions D.P Dough, BG's or Adriano's. 
• It's a miracle if it hasn't snowed by early October.
• As you drive up to school, the weather is lovely everywhere else, but as you approach Bing, there is a black cloud looming over the city.
• You've rapidly diminished your meal plan by buying too many cups of overpriced coffee at Glenn G. Bartle's kiosk or Taco Bell in the Union. 
• You know the Rathskeller as "The Rat"
• You never wear enough clothes going downtown, and you've almost died of hypothermia on a particularly snowy night out, with no cabs.
• Someone has vomited on or around you in a cab back from downtown.
• You know to avoid the dining halls at 6:00, but you always go then anyway.
• You wear a rain coat more often than underwear.
• You've wiped out in Lecture Hall due to the slippery floor from all the rain dripping off the students.
• If you want to go out to eat off campus on a weekend night, you're going to wait at least an hour without reservations...at Applebees.
• A trip to Moe's is like a Cancun vacation.
• Finding a parking spot close to where   you're trying to get is like Christmas.
• Don't people know the lounges are for studying?
• You know to avoid living in Dickinson.
• You know that CIW is where all the cool kids live.
• Mountain View is spoiled kids who don't care about meeting new people.
• Newing reeks of burnt hair, Jager, nail polish and vomit.
• If you've ever gone to Newing dining hall, you can't help but feel the burning eyes of judgment.
• Does anyone even go to Late Night Binghamton?
• For the most part, the only time you ever leave campus is to go to the bars or Wal-Mart.
• You know you shouldn't drink the punch...but you do it anyway.
• You read the Pipe Dream every time it comes out, but you'll never have anything nice to say about it.
• You've wondered if the library tower is really the Tower of Terror, and even if it isn't, it's always in the back of your mind as you ride the elevator.
• For like a week in the fall, you wonder why everybody says Binghamton is so unattractive.
• You've seen Minja around campus before the whole scandal, and were terrified.
• You've never heard of The Bon-Ton before experiencing the Oakdale Mall.
• You've heard something about a zoo, but you have no idea where it is.
• You know that CollegeOTR is the place to go for Binghamton news and nostalgia.
