@bjkmom Can you comment on Old Westbury as far as education major programs there? They are one of the only 3 SUNYs that have the whole suit - from special ed to elementary school to 7-12 subject, and the other two schools (Plattsburgh and Geneseo) are way too far; there is a reason why going to school in NYC (CUNY) is not ideal either. My daughter wants to become a teacher and she wants to stay in the area, so she thinks going to a local college will be an extra advantage helping her develop connections that will make it easier to find a job here after graduation.
