Transferring from Queens Cuny to Stony Brook Suny

<p>I just started my 3rd semester in college at Queens Cuny. Before I even started applying to college I wanted to go to law school, but because of my financial situation I was unwilling to go to a "real college" (decent private college). My major is political science, with possible minors in philosophy, english, and history. I plan on going to college for a maximum of 4 years total. Then going on to a top 50 law school. My question is, how much of an better for my eventual law school education is Stony Brook SUNY than Queens CUNY (and possibly Baruch CUNY) ?</p>

<p>I literally had no college guidance counselor in my high school and the city college system is a mess. So I have recieved no help as most of my friends in the same situation are just starting college at Queens college, or have already dropped out.</p>

<p>Stay at Queens and do well. Queens is a better deal financially and almost as highly regarded.</p>

<p>Unless you want to major in one of the sciences, in which case go to SB.</p>

<p>@lebob23: Joan52 means that you should stay at Queens because it is cheaper than a private school and you will save money. You probably should graduate at Queens than go Stony Brook or another private school for graduate law program. But if you are in-state and if you do not need to take loans than transfer to Stony Brook.</p>

<p>I would say apply and see what FA they give you and if it is good, transfer. Hurry up and apply for Spring.</p>
