<p>Hi,
I was accepted to suny binghamton and suny albany and I'm currently a high school senior from out of state.</p>
<p>I know that Suny schools have very little students from out of state and am a little worried.</p>
<p>For people who are/have gone to Suny schools, what is the typical attitude about out of state students? Are most students welcoming or unwelcoming to out of state students?</p>
<p>If anybody is going or has gone to a Suny school from as an out of state student, I would love to hear your experiences.</p>
<p>I didn’t go to a SUNY but I did go to 2 schools in NY state for my undergrad. Overall the feeling I got from students was that they loved out of state students. Almost like: “wow, this person is from XY state” of course depending on your state. If you are from CT or NJ, then its so closeby it’s not even mentioned or might be a little local rivalry, but nothing that would make it hard for you. Also, keep in mind these are larger schools so you are bound to find your own niche. I don’t think being out of state would be an issue at all unless you bash NYers of course…
best of luck</p>
<p>Where are you from?
I’m at Binghamton and OOS students are really not a big deal. There’s definitely a siignificant presence of NJ, CT, and MA people. I’ve met people from OR, GA, CA, MO, FL… it’s certainly not unheard of, and it usually leads to a friendly “Oh, so what brings you here?” “Well, I really liked their biochemistry program / Jewish community / price” conversation. You definitely won’t be ostracized or unwelcome. </p>
<p>Come to Binghamton
where the people are nicer
it’s so nice
shh just come</p>
<p>My son is a Freshman at Binghamton and we are OOS and it’s no big deal. Of his suitemates, 1 is from NJ, 1 from PA and 3 from NY…It’s never ever come up in conversation according to him that someone would treat a non- NYer differently…</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who replied! I was really worried about being an oos student in NY but now I am much more relaxed.
And to rebeccar, I’m from MA. It’s nice to hear there is significant presence of MA students in Binghamton.</p>
