UCONN vs Rutgers vs New Paltz etc Reputability

<p>I am a college sophomore looking to transfer for the fall. I graduated High School with a 3.97 and 98 average. I got a 1790 on my SATs. I have been attending Binghamton University. Leaving Binghamton is practically suicide as far as it being a fantastic school; it's incredibly selective. I know it's stupid to leave it, but I just don't like the distance from home (I live in Fairfield County in CT). </p>

<p>Basically, I'm trying to find a reputable school closer to home (within two hours). My average GPA at Binghamton was a 3.05 (it's a tough school, don't judge). </p>

<p>I'm looking at UCONN, Rutgers, SUNY New Paltz and possibly others including Ramapo. I am an Environmental Studies/Conservation Biology major. </p>

<p>If anyone knows about these schools or has other suggestions that would be great! Price is a big deal with my family, so if you know great public schools that would help as well.</p>

<p>What state do you live in?</p>

<p>I stated above that I live in Connecticut</p>

<p>Sorry, I skimmed. </p>

<p>If UConn has the major you’re looking for, then why not save tens of thousands of dollars, and go to UConn?</p>

<p>I know someone said this on your other thread, but Stony Brook would be perfect! I think it has the best rep out of all schools you mentioned and it is the same price as the in-state tuition for UConn. I am highly considering it-- and you should visit it too. The campus is 500x than UConn. :)</p>

<p>Stony Brook campus and reputation doesn’t compare at all to UConn. >.></p>

<p>Stony Brooks HONORS however, has pretty nice programs.</p>

<p>Have you ever been to UConn? It’s nothing special.</p>

<p>Jme, have YOU ever been to UConn? It is one of the nicest campuses I have ever been too… And I have been to a lot. And Stony Brook academically does not compare to UConn…</p>

<p>I take classes at UConn. :slight_smile: I know the campus all too well.
I guess we all like different things…</p>
