<p>I've come to a private school and I hate it. Everyone is the same (white, rich, boring, etc.) I'm wondering if anyone knows of any colleges that are more ... chill. maybe some people who party a little but don't live for it. </p>
<p>I know people at SUNY purchase, ithaca college, SUNY new platz, bard and other "artsy" colleges but none of those have nursing :( any ideas?</p>
<p>If you are majoring in nursing, definitely look at SUNY Binghamton, or some of the smaller private schools in the Buffalo area (Daemen, D'Youville)</p>
I think that it's actually really good that she's giving NY a second chance. It's such a diverse and culture-rich state; it would be a pity if she left with only memories of "boring fake rich people". Honestly, she'd be hard-pressed to find a more diverse state anywhere. </p>
<p>That said, I second the recommendation for Bing.</p>
<p>Why limit yourself to SUNYs in you're not a NYS resident? OOS tuition is high (compared to many other state uni systems) and the quality of ed low, especially compared to other flag-ship shcs (UNC-CH, UVA, UMich, UWisc-Mad, UConn -Stoors, etc.).</p>
<p>That said, I don't know where you got the idead that the LACs/Unis in NYS are less diverse than anywhere else. Likewisse, the schs are too numerous and diverse - - in terns of race, class, location and size - - to even try to generate a list.</p>
<p>Yeah. SUNYs are really cheap out of state. Like $12k. But I'm assuming she's instate, so she'd basically go for free. </p>
<p>The other schools you mentioned will probably cost the OP anywhere from $25k to $30k a year, a number of them DON'T offer nursing, and if diversity is what she's looking for, she's not going find nearly as much in other states.</p>
<p>If you are looking for SUNY school that has nursing, I'd recommend University at Buffalo. Large school with a diverse population and a well-regarded nursing program. Plus the upstate portion of NY and especially the Western New York region has a reputation of being less "uppity" than downstate. Not that I am saying that the downstate area is snooty- I know many people from there that are very nice. Please don't let your own school give you an unbalanced idea of what a typical New Yorker is like.</p>
