<p>“SUNY-Stony Brook. No denying it, OSU Indian Student Association or not, a lot of people in Ohio look at Indian people as convenience store owners who took jobs away from “real” Americans. I have lived all over the U.S. and overseas, people in Ohio are the rudest, most discriminating people I have seen. Anecdotal? Yes. Are their great people in Ohio? Yes. However, in comparison to Long Island, no contest. I went to public school there in the 1970s with Indian kids, many I counted as friends. One of my friend’s Dad was an advertising exec in New York City (NYC). On Long Island itself, companies such as Computer Associates, founded by Charles Wang, look for the best and brightest no matter where they come from. NYC is but a short train ride away and an Indian Consulate is right there (do not minimize student visa issues, having a consulate so close will be a great help). If OSU was a top school in the U.S., I could see putting up with the relative isolation and cultural difficulties, but OSU is not even in the US Top 50. SUNY-Stoney Brook isn’t either, but the cultural and economic prospects there outweigh anything Columbus, Ohio can offer.”</p>
