overall which is better: albany or buffalo

<p>title says all</p>

<p>buffalo 10chars</p>

<p>Can’t go wrong either way…</p>

<p>For whatever it’s worth, the 2010 rankings in US News and World Report put SUNY at 128 or so, and put Albany into their third tier.</p>

<p>Those rankings are not worth much. They are quantitative screens and there is no second tier. Make your own choices and don’t rely so much on a magazine or forum. Talk to some professors, students…visit the libraries, attend an event…sit in on a class. The success of your education and experience is more about you than them. Even if rankings did matter somewhat, is there a difference between number 53 and 128 out of thousands? Its about for you and fit. ALL the SUNY schools are “good.”</p>

<p>Also, depends on the major if you want to really inspect the school rankings.</p>

<p>Engineering- Buffalo- USNWR 57 (if I remember correctly)
Binghamton (general USNWR higher rnaking than UB) but not on the top 100 engineering in USNWR listing.</p>

<p>I prefer Buffalo, partially because there are so many grads in great post graduate areas that I keep meeting, since my son is there. I hear of and know fewer Albany grads. </p>

<p>Visit and get a feel for your “fit”.</p>
