Hiiii I literally just found out about this website and I’m crying reading everyone else’s stats…

My school doesn’t do much to inform us about the college process so I have been researching on my own. However, all the websites I visited give me different information everytime so I’m just confused. Hopefully you guys can help :slight_smile:

But yeah that’s all!!! I’ve looked around some schools in NY. I think a SUNY is a good match for me. What do you think?

Yes you could attend a SUNY.

Which one do you think you may like?

Thank you for replying!! I visited Stony and Binghamton recently and I think I’ll apply to both. I haven’t considered other SUNYs other than those two.

Those are great schools. They are big universities. That may suit you. You may also want to consider the SUNY liberal arts colleges, Geneseo.

Here’s a bunch of lists that might get you thinking about various SUNYs and what they may offer–

I think binghamton would be a good choice for you. Also, if you don’t mind the rural location, geneseo is a great choice. Stony brook is fine, especially if you want to major in prehealth or stem but just note that it is a commuter school and people either commute every day or go home on the weekends so you won’t get that residential atmosphere you might find in the other schools you are looking at. But if you live on long island and don’t mind living at home and commuting you can save a lot of money.
