<p>I am currently a freshman at the College at Brockport and I hate it here. The school is way to small and there is absolutely nothing to do here. I feel as if I'm still in high school, I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE. I'm looking for SUNY schools that aren't in the middle of nowhere. School where you can do fun things on the weekend besides partying. Any ideads?</p>
<p>Anyone, any ideals?</p>
<p>Stonybrook is in LI which is very close to NYC
FIT is in NYC but its a fashion school</p>
<p>Any other advice?</p>
<p>Please define “no where.” I went to Binghamton which is near a small city and I loved it. There’s SUNY Buffalo and Albany which are near larger cities. Most SUNYs are in rural areas simply because that’s where they were founded. You’ll need to make sure your GPA is sufficient to transfer. Consider the CUNYs as well.</p>
<p>I agree on SUNY Buffalo. Not far from where you are now but more to do, even at the campus itself.</p>
<p>Geneseo is pretty close to Rochester, but it’s very hard to get into. New Paltz and Oneonta aren’t too far from the city. Purchase is even closer, and Old Westbury is closer still.</p>
<p>Stony brook is ideal, but albany and new paltz aren’t too bad</p>
<p>New Paltz is right near the Metro North Train line which takes into NYC in a little over an hour. Stony Brook is also close but a very big school while NEw Paltz has a much smaller population.</p>
<p>We looked at about every SUNY school except Buffalo which was just too far a trip from Long Island. New Paltz is close enough to NYC to actually make it a short car ride; however, the campus is a bit run down when compared to Oneonta which had great facilities and a pretty vibrant local area. New Paltz village is tiny and literally a one stop light main street. I would recommend taking a visit to both and see which is lively enough for you. We live on Long island and Stony Brook is certainly close enough to NYC for adventure, but the school itself is quite large and the campus is kind of cold and not inviting and the neighboring area is rural and low middle class type dwellings.</p>
