Which college is better?

<p>im planning to apply SUNY Binghamton, Albany, New Paltz, and Stony Brook.
im not sure oneonta and oswego. which one is better for psychology major??
n im also applying to Univ. of Minnesota. NYU probably.</p>

<p>those colleges that i mentioned above are hard to get in??
could you rank them?!
btw im an int'l student n attending school out of US.</p>

<p>As an international student, what led you to the SUNY schools? Are they well known outside the US?</p>

<p>Of the schools you listed, Binghamton is the best overall by far. Also the hardest to get into, naturally. As an outstanding school with cheap tuition in a huge state, demand is enormous and admission is highly competitive. </p>

<p>Stony Brook would be next best. With a major hospital on campus, their science and medical fields are pretty good. Albany is ok academically, but I would visit before applying. It’s not the prettiest campus, mostly a 1960’s-era concrete jungle. New Paltz, Oneonta, and Oswego are smaller schools, roughly comparable academically, none especially prestigious.</p>

<p>How did Minnesota get on that list? It’s nowhere near NY. Don’t know enough about UMN to comment, but they generally have a very good reputation. NYU is good, but it’s almost triple the price of SUNY and not significantly better.</p>

<p>Do you have the grades for SUNY-Geneseo? They have a great Psychology program and is considered by many to be the best of the SUNY’s. After Geneseo, Binghampton would be the clear second choice. I have a close friend that attended SUNY-Binghampton and earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology. She thinks it was a great experience.</p>

<p>Your list is confusing, you have the SUNY schools, NYU and Minnesota, an odd mix of public and private and geography. What made you pick these schools?</p>

<p>Of the schools you listed, I would choose NYU if you like the idea of living in NYC. If you like a more rural location but not too rural with a nice college town and a 90 minute ride to NYC, the New Paltz is your best bet. I have first hand knowledge of both schools, so if you have any questions feel free to ask. Both good for psychology.</p>

<p>I chose SUNY cuz I heard that it’s cheaper than other colleges and it’s good academically.
For NYU, it’s because of reputation. I also heard that Minnesota has a good psychology program that’s why i want to apply.
well… I researched about best colleges for psychology and I found Michigan-ann arbor and Illinois-urbana champaign but it seems like those two are much harder to get in.
Actually state doesn’t matter. I don’t picky about state.</p>
