Which school is better for computer science?
I believe stony brook is better academically. However, it does have other downsides. Most of the students there are commuters from long island so if you don’t plan on commuting it might be difficult. There are also a lot of international students who do not speak the language there so it might be difficult to make friends with some of your classmate due to the language barrier. Buffalo might be a better choice if you aren’t from long island and you want to live on campus. But if you are from long island, you can save a ton of money by living at home and commuting to stony brook.
