My experience as a student at Binghamton: they rarely ventured any farther than Walmart on the Parkway or the downtown/westside area. Most of them didn't even know there was anything to Binghamton beyond that. That was 20 years ago, but from what I saw up until I moved away five years ago, I don't think it changed much.

Is this for housing, or traveling for shopping and things? In Binghamton, the students will only live in certain areas, so there's no real radius you can use to look for a good spot.

That is true! Specific locations matter. I know some of the places students like to live, but for the most current info on that consult with someone who knows that niche well. Steph seems to know it well! I was just giving a general guideline, like it doesn't make sense to buy in Endicott if you're targeting students. LOL Close to school, bars, shopping, food, etc - those are generally where you want to be, and the closer, the better. If you are familiar with the area or just look on a map you'll get a good idea to start with. But again, talk to Steph or someone else who knows because there are exceptions!
Anything more than 20 minutes is long for a Binghamton University student. There is the city bus and the university has their own buses as well. There are certain main routes but the main streets that buses go on are Main Street in Binghamton and Johnson City & Floral Avenue in Johnson City. It is very block by block, one street may be good and the next isn't.
