<p>I want to be a Meteorologist. I know Penn state is good for Meteorology and in my state, SUNY Albany is good. Anywhere else? Public is better but private is ok .</p>
<p>What can you afford? The best atmospheric science schools are almost all publics or incredibly selective privates. The only exceptions with reasonably comprehensive meteorology programs I can think of are UMiami, Valpraiso University, and possibly Florida Institute of Technology. Generally speaking the privates, will award better financial aid than the OOS publics. </p>
<p>My school, the University of Oklahoma, offers an outstanding meteorology program. One of the women in my sorority is a freshman meteorology major and already she’s been able to storm chase, work in a weather lab, and practice broadcast weather skills. </p>

<p>I had to look this up frosh year, and Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Florida Tech, Miami, and Penn State are the five big ones you should be looking at. St. Cloud State University is a decent one I found with reasonable job/graduate placement rates and affordable cost</p>
<p>If you have the stats and the ability to pay Cornell is also outstanding. It depends what you plan to do with the degree? If you plan to be an on air meteorologist then Penn State is probably the go to school. If you plan to go to grad school consider opening your search to schools with geoscience type majors and it will infinitely expand your possibilities.</p>
<p>What grade are you in? There is a 5 day weather camp at PSU that S attended a couple of years ago and really enjoyed.</p>
<p>South Dakota School of Mines & Technology offers an interdisciplinary B.S. that is a specialization in Atmospheric Science. All program graduates are eligible for federal NWS certification as meteorologists. And with the ‘changes at any minute’ weather in Rapid City, you’ll get a lot of practical experience.</p>
<p>I am in 10th grade. I know Penn State is very known and a lot of famous meteorologists have gone there. However, my mom is really pushing for in-state and she thinks SUNY has everything but I’ve been trying to convince her that SUNY isn’t the best. NY is really only known for its public school system, not university system, and ahe doesn’t get that. She thinks just because Albany has Meteorology and its supposedly good that that is my only option.</p>
<p>Don’t dwell on this for a year. </p>
<ol>
<li> Some SUNY campuses are excellent</li>
<li>Whenhen is right. Don’t fuss and fret about college just yet. Concentrate on enjoying high school (which means getting good grades).</li>
</ol>
<p>By the way, SDSM&T out of state tuition is very comparable to SUNY tuition.</p>
<p>I won’t dwell on it. I am definitely not going to SDSM&T. I would preferrably not want to be in the middle of no where.</p>
<p>Have a chat with your parents about how they expect you to pay for your education. Ask them to help you run the Net Price Calculators at each university website. You need to know whether any of these places are likely to be affordable for your family.</p>
<p>You are in-state for the College of Ag and Life Sciences at Cornell, so do take a good long look at that program in addition to the SUNY locations that offer meteorology.</p>
