The contracted colleges at Cornell give about a 20k break to NYers - so 70k vs 90k - and there's zero benefit to being "in-state". Zero.

But it's said 100% of the time.

33% of undergrad population at Cornell is from NY State. It is an advantage to be from NY.

40% of Stanford is from CA, no one calls it UC Palo Alto. You really don’t see what is going on?

Four of the Cornell colleges are SUNY affliliated and recieve NY state funding.

What differences do those make? Stanford and UCB were to be affiliated in the same way, does it change Stanford in any substantive manner?

I view state funding as a benefit, not a drawback.

Poster you are responding to. I see state funding as a benefit at well. I dont see why being affiliated with SUNY is bad. Infact, Bing is a very good school. Why are you comparing stanford to cornell. Stanford is 1/3 the size of cornell and has no state affiliation. More than half of Cornell is SUNY affliated so why is it offensive when anyone points that out.

The term "affiliated" has no substantive meaning in this context. They are affiliated in names only. Cornell and SUNY are not affiliated in any fashion that matters.
