So I’ve finally narrowed down my acceptances to either Temple or Stony Brook because they have both offered me full scholarships. However, I’m having trouble deciding between the two. I got into the Honors College at Temple and the Univeristy Scholars Program at Stony Brook. But Temple is also offering me an extra $16,000 worth of stipends to study abroad and do research each summer. Stony Brook, however, is a more selective school with a higher average SAT score range so my fellow students will most likely be smarter?? I’m not saying that students at Temple aren’t smart or that I won’t get an excellent education there because those would be false statements, I’ve just heard that Stony Brook has better stats. I was wondering if anyone could offer me some more information or opinions that would help me make a decision?
