I just got accepted to Stony Brook today. Can anyone tell me how the English program is at Stony and how it is in comparison to Binghamton and Geneseo?
Also does it make a difference if I chose a school for its rank & reputation and not how good their English Program is? I know that Stony Brook isn’t known for their English program but does that hurt me if I went to Stony Brook for English over a school who has a better English program like Geneseo?
Thanks.
English, like many programs, is really dependent on what faculty you’re working with. We’re fortunate here that we have some seriously world-class instructors: http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/english/people/faculty.html
Rowan Ricardo Phillips, for example, is brilliant: http://www.rowanricardophillips.com/
Bente Videbaek is one of my favorite people on campus; Celia Marshik, Susan Scheckel, Gene Hammond in writing… really awesome people to know and learn from.
