[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the very beginning of a college search for a kid who lives in NY, and just assumes he will go to a SUNY, mainly because he doesn't know what the other options are.

I need help coming up with other ideas for him to look into. Solid enough grades. A little bit of extracurricular.

-He has no idea what he wants to do, but from what he describes, something like business might be a good idea, so we need an all purpose kind of school where he doesn't need to apply to a particular program for entry. 
-There needs to be at least a bit of a Jewish population. 
-He can't specify city/rural, big/small. 
-He and his parents dont want to consider private, but are open to out of state state schools.
-He will look at UMD.

What are some out of the other options? East coast is probably preferred, but open to other ideas.[/quote]

New York state is really as big and varied as a lot of countries, and it has highly regarded, reasonably priced state universities.

Why are you thinking he should consider other schools?

If you think he should broaden his horizons: What if he went to a school like SUNY Buffalo and spent his junior year in a school
overseas?

Or: what about the University of Arizona? It's good, not that hard to get into, and probably a lot of fun.

He's a bit sheltered and may want to consider branching out a bit further. He's applying to SUNYs because they don't know where else to apply. He's not opposed to looking elsewhere (I'm not trying to force it!) but isn't taking initiative to look into. [/quote]
