SUNY Buffalo or SUNY Albany?

<p>I'm thinking of majoring in Accounting or Finance in college so I narrowed my SUNY choices to Bing, Buffalo, and Albany. I know Bing is good, but of the two (Buffalo and Albany), which is better in terms of reputation, quality of education for Accounting/Finance? or just business in general. Thanks.</p>

<p>Bing is by far superior to these two, if you can get in bing should deff be your choice. Between the albany and buffalo I would go with buffalo.</p>

<p>So Baruch vs Albany vs Buff. Who wins? For biz.</p>

<p>for business, baruch. for anything else that isn’t criminal justice (in which case your choice should be albany), buff. </p>

<p>if you’re still thinking about accounting, then you should also look into suny old westbury.</p>

<p>*1950 SAT and an 87 UW GPA.</p>

<p>I’m still not sure, but I know I will qualify for FASFA for some schools because I’ve been getting these fee waivers and free lunch through out all 4 years of HS. Both parents also do not make too much. Just looking for a above average undergrad business school that will not bee too expensive. </p>

<p>My parents don’t really mind paying too much for my education. </p>

<p>You misunderstand financial aid. There’s no such thing as “qualifying for FAFSA” because you’re low income. FAFSA is just an application. All Americans can submit a FAFSA. All FAFSA does is spit out a number. That number determines if you qualify for Pell grants (which are small) and small student loans. FAFSA doesn’t give anyone any money.</p>

<p>Also, you mention that you’re on free lunch and your parents don’t make much money. YET, you claim that your parents won’t mind paying for your education??? Do they have a tree that grows money? If they don’t make much money, how could they possibly pay for your education? They wouldn’t qualify for loans if their income is low. </p>

<p>I think you need to sit down with your parents and get a clear figure as to how much they can give you every year. </p>

<p>You also need to find out what your likely EFC is…</p>

<p>Quick EFC - this is a rough estimate

<p>Anyway…Buffalo and Bing are considered the best SUNYs. I think Geneseo is next after them. However, I don’t know which are best for your major.</p>

<p>CUNY-Baruch for business. As mentioned above…for accounting Old Westbury…but I don’t know if it’s good for other business areas. </p>

<p>Have you visited any campuses?</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. I have visited a couple.</p>

<p>I’d go with buffalo over albany. Albany is a huge party school!
But obviously binghamton is the better of the 2.</p>

<p>Can you even get into these schools? What are your stats?</p>

<p>In general, Binghamton is the best SUNY school by far. Buffalo is a bit better than Albany, though not a huge quality difference. You need to visit the schools to see if they appeal to you. While students get a good degree and have fun, Albany is a 60’s-era concrete jungle that some find terribly ugly. Buffalo is obviously very cold and snowy for a good part of the school year. Some don’t mind, deal-breaker for others.</p>

<p>SUNY Old Westbury doesn’t even belong in this discussion. Mainly a commuter school with nothing special about it.</p>

<p>Sorry i’m interrupting this post but I have a quick question. How long does UB take for them to reply to rolling admissions?</p>
