<p>as the title says, which suny school would be the best for someone interested in history?</p>
<p>The following campuses offer History as a major:
Albany, Binghamton, Brockport, Buffalo State, UB, Cortland, Fredonia, Geneseo, New Paltz, Oneonta, Oswego, Plattsburgh, Potsdam, Purchase, Stony Brook</p>
<p>What are you looking for in a university? There isn’t one single answer to your question! Several of these campuses would be great for History. It really depends on what you’re looking for in terms of location, study body size, concurrent programs, etc.</p>
<p>I know for a fact that Binghamton and Geneseo have excellent History programs. Both Geneseo and Binghamton are generally well regarded among the SUNY campuses. UB and Stony Brook also have nice programs if a larger campus is more your thing. Are you looking to specialize in a certain area/time? That would certainly alter your options!</p>
<p>not really specializing in a certain area/time although my favorite is modern european history. but i think specialization would be more of a grad-school-thing
my ideal would be a medium sized campus close to a large city. but i think bing and geneseo i guess are probably the most recognized...which do you think would fit that description better</p>
<p>It's really going to boil down to specifics! Geneseo is a smaller university known for personal attention. Binghamton is a bigger university more focused on research. At Binghamton, you would be competing with more grad students and possibly have TAs. I doubt Geneseo will have many teaching assistants. However, Binghamton may offer better alumni connections and undergrad opportunities. FYI Geneseo has ~5,000 students and Binghamton has ~12,000! I thought Geneseo had a pretty campus. The dorms are also rather nice! I've never seen the Binghamton campus though. </p>
<p>If I were you, I would look at the course offerings! One university may have more classes suited to your interests. It would also be helpful to look into faculty and facilities. If possible, visit both of the campuses! You may find that you prefer one over the other. </p>

<p>If I were you, I would probably choose Binghamton. It has many programs to choose from - many more than Geneseo. The campus is bigger as well. 5,000 students may be a little stifling! Binghamton is also closer to several major cities(Boston, NYC, etc.) I believe Bing is around 4 hours from the city! If you would like to know about Rochester, I could tell you! Bottom line: Check out the campuses and concurrent programs!</p>
