Geneseo v Stony Brook

<p>I applied for both Geneseo and Stony Brook for biology major.
I was recently accepted to both but couldn't decide which school to go.</p>

<p>I really need opinions and advices about these schools.</p>

<p>I heard that Geneseo was in small town, good campus and dorm, small classes
and Stony Brook was in large suburban area, had their own hospital but a party school.</p>

<p>Also, whats the pros and cons for small classes and large classes?</p>

<p>Please Help!!</p>

<p>I can tell you Geneseo is a great place. I go down there for concerts and stuff and the people are really friendly. Biology is one of the most popular majors and, besides Education it’s what Geneseo is “known for”. I don’t know much about Stony Brook, but I would highly recommend looking deeper into Geneseo.</p>

<p>My best friend’s brother goes there and he says it’s a perfect balance of a good education and social atmosphere.</p>

<p>I live on Long Island.
I have heard alot of the kids leave on the weekend.
try to read the threads on Stonybrook…
Look at Naviance and compare the kids that get accepted to both schools.
My son wouldnt even apply to Stonybrook was too close but it is a good school.
He may be going to Geneseo for pre med as well.
I just think Geneseo is a more selective school.
I went to Adelphi, also a long island school and most kids went home on the weekend.
Just a thought.
Did you see Geneseo? We are going at the end of the month. You need to visit!</p>

<p>Just to make it clearer…Stonybrook is the school kids leave on the weekend…Not all im sure but this is what i have heard.</p>

<p>Even though Stony Brook is in a large suburban area, I’ve heard a lot about there’s nothing to do during weekend. Plus, it’s a communter school.</p>

<p>Geneseo is better I think, both academically and socially. But you should visit.</p>

<p>Stony Brook is well know for its huge intro-class lectures. One of my friends goes there, and his Chemistry lecture has ~500 people.</p>

<p>ima have to cosign with the others && say that i’ve heard the weekends are a bore at Stony Brook . </p>

<p>yu should probably try to visit .</p>

<p>Geneseo may be the better pick!</p>

<p>I like in the stony brook campus technically and I WOULD NEVER GO THERE if i lived away!<br>
I would go there if I wanted to stay on Long Island but I don’t! </p>

<p>I mean to me its different that its always been there and doesn’t seem like a college but its too much of the suburbs and commuters</p>

<p>Stony Brook has an outstanding bio program, and there are probably some great research opportunities. On the downside, there will be many premeds there and from what I’ve heard it can be a pretty competitive place.</p>

<p>I don’t know much about life at Geneseo, but I imagine that it has a much bigger focus on the campus.</p>
