To fans of the Americana-psychedelic-rock band The Grateful Dead, the name "Harpur College" specifically refers to a concert the band played at the college on May 2, 1970. According to Jimmy Cawley writing in the Boston Globe, "The Harpur College show has long been prized by tape collectors as an example of the depth the Dead were capable of on any given night."
Binghamton University is the setting for the fictional 2014 romantic comedy film The Rewrite written and directed by Binghamton graduate Marc Lawrence, starring Hugh Grant as a failing Hollywood scriptwriter who reluctantly comes to Binghamton as a teacher, and finds a new purpose and direction in his life. Several scenes were shot at Binghamton and the University, although for the majority of the movie, Long Island University's Post campus in Nassau County acted as a stand-in for BU for stated budgetary reasons.
