<p>I don't know which is better between those two.
People say different things about the 2 schools and majority of people said Stony Brook's Psych department is better.. I mean, I turned down on Stony Brook because I thought Bing's Psych was better</p>
<p>So.. Do you guys know which is better?</p>
<p>You have got to be kidding me. You decide on Bing. and are now having buyer’s remorse or something? Good grief. </p>
<p>Stony Brook psychology sucks! Does that help? Binghamton rules in psych.! How about that? Is that what you want to hear? There ya go.</p>
<p>Yeah, at this point, I don’t know what you’re expecting to hear. Obviously neither schools have crap psych departments. They’re both fine. You chose Binghamton. Learn to love it because you’ll be here for the next few years.</p>
<p>edit- and take your intro classes with Morrissey, god, he’s cool.</p>
<p>rebeccar, I heard psych 111 (intro class) is only taught by Merriweather. Does Morrissey teach psych 111 as well?</p>
<p>There’s several people who teach it.</p>
<p>Stony Brook by miles, Stony Brook being a Science school has one of the finest Psychology department in the USA. Bing is NOT on the same tier as Stony Brook in Science.</p>
<p>Here comes facts for the disbelievers:</p>
<p>A)Stony Brook has the 46th best Psychology department in the USA, I no Bing is no where near that.
B)Stony Brook has more faculty members in their department
C)Stony Brook has more resources for research in Psychology</p>
<p>I mean with due respect, our buildings for devoted to Psychology(not one, but two, and you can tell now how much the university invests in the Psychology program) is probably the size of Bing’s Engineering school + Science building combined. Science is just something we are good at it, and have been doing well for a long time. From graduating the likes of the president of Stanford University, no SUNY school should be compared to SBU in Science.</p>
<p>Here are some more fact about Stony Brook:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>It was consistently been rated on of the unhappiest universities in the country by Princeton Review. Maybe their psychology department should work on their depressed student body. </p></li>
<li><p>I believe that Stony Brook has one of the only universities in the country that has a website run by students called stonybrooksucks.com. No kidding. Google it. This is for real. When students take the time to set up a website saying how bad it sucks there and there are many posters saying the exact same thing, well, buyer beware. Really, what more do you need to know.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>YippeeSkipee, I am not sure why you are consistently bashing Stony Brook. Most of what you say is factually inaccurate. What are you getting out of it? do you work for a school?</p>
<p>^^Don’t feed the ■■■■■. Unfortunately, since he lacks the intellectual capability of offering a counter-argument, or a rebuttal, he decides to resort to childish tactics. Let the threadstarter decide for himself, now that he has valuable feedback. It is no surprise that Stony Brook is a Science school, and we have an amazing Psychology program with a ton of resources; Simply put, Binghamton is not on par with us, due to their lack of Science concentration, and more Liberal Arts gears.</p>
<p>You know what’s even more sad? How QCstudent consistently posts in the Binghamton sub-forum to promote Stony Brook over Binghamton every chance he gets. What a sad and depressing post history. Stony Brook gave me a full ride to attend their school for Computer Science, yet I still chose Binghamton. Sad how the school that apparently is more competitive for the sciences was practically begging me to attend.</p>
<p>Hey Matteox,
It doesn’t matter what you chose. To be frank, even if you chose Binghamton over MIT or CMU, that’s your choice, although an incredibly dumb choice, you have your right to make your own choice. My job is to simply shed light on facts, and resources, and here comes a fight that might sting, but again, it’s a fact:</p>
<p>Stony Brook University has a CSE program that is far, far, far superior than of Binghamtons. We have far more resources than you, far better faculty, we do more research than your entire school of Engineering, and our CS program alone is the size of your entire Engineering school, not to mention our unique Alumni. CS is something we’ve been doing since the 60’s, and we pretty reputable. Heck, even the president of Stanford is our alum. So now, if you chose Bing, more power to you my friend. I just wish to inform applicants of facts, and then if they choose Bing over MIT, or UCB for whatever reason, that is their choice; an applicant has the right to know that Bing is a Liberal Arts school, with a mediocre CS program, whereas SBU is s Science school, with a top 20 CS program(by Gourman report), and a new $100 Million CS building under construction already, for our nearly 90 faculty members(we are hiring 5 more faculty members this semester, from elite schools, and we hired 5 last semester from MIT and CMU), which makes Bings department peanuts when compared to us. :-)</p>
<p>You are still young, and perhaps naive, when you start to mature into your CS program, and begin participating in ACM competitions, you will realize that when Bing ends up in 55th, or 60th, SBU generally either wins the competition, or places 2nd, with due respect, we compete with Princeton neck to neck in programming competitions, thanks to our great Algorithm folks, and huge program from which we can select intelligent students. It’s ironic cause when you prepare for job interviews, you will be reading the Algorithm Design Manual, a book written by our professor, I’m sure then you’d wouldve hoped to have had taken Algorithms with him, or Operating Systems with Eugene Stark(who built his own OS at MIT), and the list goes on, and on. 
</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p>QCstudent, how old are you? Not very mature!</p>
<p>^Perhaps your age is getting to you, but I suggest you to refrain from personal attacks, and add either:</p>
<p>A)Productive value to the discussion
B)Proof read what you write</p>

<p>From the SUNY middle-50 percent stats for 2012 (latest posted):

<p>Were you rejected by Binghamton? Does it still bother you so much that you feel the need to criticize Binghamton in favor of Stony Brook in every possible thread on CC?</p>
<p>OldMom,
Showing that Bing has a couple of pointers higher in a GPA requirements add no value to the discussion. I can name plenty of other liberal arts programs that have higher requirement. If you would learn to read English, you’d realize the OP is talking about the Psychology program. I repeat, since you probably missed the point, Binghamton being a Liberal Arts, Artsy school, is NOT on the same tier as Stony Brook when it comes to Sciences. Look up our Science programs, compare them to Stony Brook, and you’d realize on average we are about 60-100 ranks ahead of you in nearly every program related to Science. That’s all. He mentioned in Psychology, and I presented some facts about Psychology, the facts imply that while Bing is a great Liberal Arts school, if he is into Science, choosing a Liberal Arts school like Bing, over a Science-oriented school like Stony Brook, is an insult to human intelligence. The choice is his, that’s all.</p>
<p>We are a flagship of SUNY, and Science is a field where we rival Ivy-leagues, for example, just several weeks ago, in the most prestigious Math competition on earth, the Putnam, Stony Brook was ranked as the 4th best in North America(if you don’t know what N.A is, that’s the USA and Canada combined). #1 was Harvard, #2 MIT, #4 SBU. Rest assured that Bing didn’t even make it to the top 1000. Same goes for programming competitions, while Bing is fighting for the top 50 slot, Stony Brook is busy battling Princeton for the first(and we have won it better).</p>
<p>Point to make is Science is something we’ve doing for a long time, and we have great track record to show for it. That very MRI that you have heard of, its research was done here. Don’t get me started on our facilities and research capabilities, simply put: Comparing Bing to Stony Brook, in the Sciences, is a comparison that would make you appear along with others rather foolish. The same way, if a SBU student claims it has strong ‘Liberal Arts’ program than Bing, he’d appear foolish. Be proud of your English novels, and let SBU be proud of its 4,000 inventions, Nobel winning Scientists(yes, ;] ), conducting cutting edge research. I mean, with due respect, we have 3 gigantic buildings devoted to Psychology with leading researchers/Scientists conducting business!</p>
<p>Thanks to Jim Simons, who gave SBU the largest donation ever to a public school, we continue to progress, with a new $100 million building for Computer Science, the size of Binghamtons entire school of Engineering, coming up soon.

<p>Insidelane,</p>
<p>If you would read all of my posts, you would know my background. </p>
<p>As afar anything I’ve ever said about Stony Brook, I stand by it and will be happy to debate you.</p>
<p>Look, this is a Binghamton thread. Why does QC hang around here belittling Binghamton with crap. </p>
<p>Riddle me that.</p>
<p>Here QCrap: </p>
<p>Another article about a successful Binghamton graduate in engineering/sciences.</p>
<p>Oh, look, she is a Stony Brook transfer. She left after her freshman year. </p>
<p>And she has a great job after graduation.</p>

<p>Guess her decision to go to Binghamton wasn’t so “dumb” after all.</p>
<p>I love this: “Victoria is always happy and her smile contagious.”</p>
<p>No wonder she transferred from Stony Brook.</p>
<p>QCrap, </p>
<p>If his magnificence would attempt to use his superior intellect to scroll up and see if he was on a Binghamton or a Stony Brook thread, he would see that he is on the former and realize that the ■■■■■ is in the mirror.</p>
<p>Try not to trip over your own arrogance. </p>
<p>Go sell your wares on the Stony Brook thread. Or is Stony Brook so desperate for students they have to come here to get the students they need?</p>
<p>What a joke!</p>
<p>Stony Brook ranked 11th in unhappiest students in 2010 Princeton Review:</p>

<p>Congrats. to Stony Brook to producing so many depressed students! Says a lot about the administration there and their psychology program that can’t figure out how to treat their own.</p>
<p>Even QCrap admits that you will be a bit “depressed” at Stony Brook.</p>

<p>Are Stony Brook people over here on a Binghamton thread because this helps them to relieve their depression? Is that the assigned therapy?</p>
