If Wisconsin has a good state flagship, why can’t New Jersey or New York?

It's almost like different parts of the country developed at different times.

This is true…plus MIT and all the SLACs.

BTW…Rutgers is 41 and Wisc 39…so, not even sure where the thread is coming from.

It’s a Wisconsin troll that appears from time to time. This thread is about boosting UWisconsin

I concur. It’s so obvious. Always mentions how few people live in Wisconsin and how great the school is in spite of the state’s population. The fact is that it’s not so great anymore compared to other top publics.

Not sure what the deal is with SUNY and why it has lost so much ground. 30 years ago, Binghamton was very well thought of.

In the weird bubble we were in (dance programs), the nj and ny publics are some of the most sought after programs in the country. Montclair in nj and suny-purchase are top dogs, with Rutgers and Buffalo not far behind.

Bing is still very good. Better than it was 30 years ago. It's just regional. So if you left NY, you dont hear about it as much.

But CUNYs and SUNYs take more Stuy kids than any other colleges - maybe than all others combined.

+ 1. Binghamton is very competitive to get into to these days.

SUNY is generally pretty corrupt and inept these days. Losing enrollment for the last five years. Geneseo, the flagship, is run by a president under federal investigation. Binghamton is the best, but it's nowhere close to RPI, Cornell, or other privates. The rest of the SUNY schools are now basically no-names.

I understand that this is about flagships, but Wisconsin does have some other good options

Stevens Point and Whitewater are undergoing budget deficits and will close. The vast majority of regional UW schools will go under in the next 20 years. Only Lacrosse and Milwaukee will win possibly be spared. In 2050, though, UW Madison and Marquette may be the only options for higher education in Wisconsin.

I hate to say it, but this is likely 100% spot on. Maybe Eau Claire makes it along with Milwaukee? But that's really it.

Geneseo is not the flagship. It is a nicely designed canoe.

Ok, you are correct, I misspoke there - I meant to say something akin to the SUNY "honors college." It's basically in the toilet, as well. And dear god I laughed long and hard at "nicely designed canoe.."

Stony Brook and Buffalo are the NY flagships.

Yeah, yeah, look at my last post - and you're wrong anyway, cause it's Binghamton.

This has to be one of the least-informed threads on here, and that’s saying something. Stop talking about NY schools when you don’t know anything about NY schools.

To be fair, that’s a pretty new designation. But at the same time, it was never Binghamton.

Ok. I mean, I disagree with her, but sure. I guess she gets to designate the flagships. As long as it's not Geneseo. Geneseo has turned into garbage.

You just don't like what people are saying. That's different than not being informed. Go wipe your butt, kid.
