[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is SUNY so unappealing to out of state applicants? This seems worth a journalist’s attention. It’s really striking how unpopular they are. [/quote]

I’m in California. My theory is that there are too many SUNY schools. From here, i have a hard time distinguishing them and I feel like I’m pretty up on college degrees. They don’t differentiate the way that the UCs and CSUs do. It isn’t that they are unappealing as such. It’s that there are 64 of them. That’s a lot of schools to sort out.

I went to NYU and met lots of SUNY and CUNY grads by just living in the city. I can't tell any of the schools apart aside from FIT, Baruch (1st gen grinders who want to work in finance), and Stony Brook (pre-med favorite). The rest of the schools upstate need to be consolidated.

My guess is that NY is doing this in an effort to fill empty seats in those upstate schools. NY kids who grow up within 30 miles of the city don't want to go further upstate or to Western NY for college.[/quote]
