<p>collegehelp, thanks for digging up these numbers. As a NYS resident, I find this to be very interesting. And yes, SUNY Purchase is quite "artsy." This is what the school is known for, the performing arts.</p>

<p>Whoa, time out. You're making up statistics. You're looking at numbers with two different denominators with retention rates (which look at just last year) and six-year grad rates (which look at numbers from six years ago). Our retention rate has jumped dramatically in the past few years, and as a result, our grad rate will likely jump also; but we won't know that for another couple of years.</p>
<p>What you said in your post is just flat wrong... 41% of our students do not "drop out," and to say that eliminates any statistical credibility you might have.</p>
<p>sbuadmissions-
I hope Stony Brook continues to improve. To what do you attribute the increase in retention?</p>
<p>Is the campus located along the shore of Long Island Sound? Is so, that must be nice.</p>
<p>I read in the Rochester newspaper last weekend that the Governor was giving more money to SUNY. I hope SUNY gets a huge increase in funding. New York students deserve it. New York has its priorities wrong and wastes a lot of taxpayer dollars.</p>
<p>I have often thought it would be nice if SUNY had a flagship campus among the smaller campuses, like the UC system. Geneseo seems to have become the SUNY of choice for the top students, although the other campuses get their share I am sure. Lots of students from my town apply at Geneseo and SUNY Buffalo.</p>
<p>What are some of the distinctive things that Stony Brook offers?</p>
<p>A lot of SUNY campuses have that brick and concrete institutional 1960s look. Too bad they didn't invest more in architecture during the 1960s when SUNY was mostly built.</p>
<p>A lot of the best students from my town went to SUNY schools.</p>
<p>how about the statistics for CUNY City Tech? You’ve only the rankings for things like ethnic percentage, and those things. You missed City Tech in your first post.</p>
<p>It would partly depend on which CUNY college. CUNY Bernard Baruch is best. It also depends on which environment you prefer. I would go with one of the better CUNY colleges.</p>
<p>TBH, CUNY colleges are underrated in this forum; I can’t say that they’re top school, but definitely good bargains. Going back to Collegehelp’s post, I do agree that Baruch is the best CUNY excluding the Macaulay Program.</p>
<p>Remember, these are general rankings, based on many things. (USNWR) and stats.</p>
<p>Some of these schools are known for great academics in certain areas and not others. (ie- Binghamton, from what we heard and what husband and son saw, does not have a great engineering or math program. Buffalo has a great engineering program. Although accepted to all schools son applied to- instate, OOS publics and many privates, son ultimately chose to attend Buffalo due to its great engineering program, similarly ranked to other schools he was accepted to…Delaware, RIT, Syracuse…)</p>
<p>Geneseo never underrated. just for offering ivy leagues experience doesn’t make themselves like ivy leagues lol and it’s true that bing is pretty competitive</p>
<p>Correct me if im wrong but is the reason for so many SUNYs and CUNYs having low acceptance rates because of so many New York State residences (or NYC) applying to these schools? The suny and cuny apps allow you to apply to so many of the schools, therefore increasing the amount of applications</p>
<p>And to the guy above, why is City College’s reputation so bad now? I’m trying to decide which campus for Macaulay to apply to. I am planing on majoring in chemistry and thought City would be the best because I always saw it as sciencey. But I’m thinking about Queens now</p>
<p>tb0mb93, my kids all included SUNY/CUNY choices in their college list. They are definitely financial safeties for the instate student. Younger D spent a year at CUNY Brooklyn before transferring this coming year.</p>
<p>I had not heard that City College’s reputation was particularly bad. At least I had not heard that it was worse than Queens or any other of the CUNYs that participate in Macaulay. I would also be interested in hearing from kwu some details about that, as I have another child who will be applying to schools - looking at engineering - that might put City on his list of financial safeties.</p>
