<p>I agree with mythmom, SUNY New Paltz is a school that many kids do fall in love with. It’s in a great location (1 1/2 hours to NYC) and the town and surrounding community is fun and funky. I have heard that the biology dept. is very good and I have also heard they are building a brand new science building. It’s worth looking into.
My son transferred there from a top private school and really likes it.</p>
