<p>So i see a lot of people on here are frequently applying to SUNY schools. </p>
<p>What is the draw of these schools, is it that they're relatively cheap?</p>
<p>Also, which one would be best for a chem/pre-med major</p>
<p>They’re good, cheap schools. I’d recommend a SUNY to anyone from NYS and is below Ivy league level.</p>
<p>For chem and pre-med I’d say Stony Brook, Buffalo, Binghamton, and Geneseo would all be good choices.</p>
<p>There’s nothing extraordinary about the SUNYs, but they’re generally good universities. Binghamton, Geneseo, and to a marginally less extent Buffalo and Stony Brook, are well-respected throughout the state and Northeast.</p>
<p>They’re usually used as fallbacks for the best students, but plenty of top students still head to the SUNYs because they either didn’t get into or couldn’t afford their top choices.</p>
<p>State budget cuts might adversely affect SUNYs in the near future though… so be careful.</p>
