<p>I recently got accepted to both of the listed schools for Computer Science and am not sure where to go. Cost isn't an issue. One of the things I'm not sure about is the opportunity for internships. If I wanted to maintain some sort of job/internship during my school year, I don't think I'd be able to do so at Stony Brook since it's sort of in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile NYU Poly is a short train ride to Manhattan. Also, all the Stony Brook vs NYU Poly discussions I find on the internet was pretty dated, and I'd imagine Poly's standing would change after being officially acquired by NYU. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. </p>
<p>If cost isn’t an issue, I’d go with NYU Poly. The school isn’t commuter, unlike SB, and it’ll be more comfortable to attend (smaller classes, better facilities, etc). It’ll also be easier for internships, especially term-time internships.</p>
