[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]  That's still ALL NY. So while very different and a bit diverse, the fact is majority of those students are from somewhere in NY and will want to remain in NY (somewhere) after graduation. Versus say attending UChicago or Northwestern: at Northwestern 78% of students are from out of state. So only 22% are from Chicago vs smaller cities near Chicago vs rural Illinois, vs medium cities elsewhere in IL. Much more diverse than where 85% are from NY state itself. Many kids want that from their college experience. And if you do a SUNY is not the place to get that  [/quote]

Okay, it sounds like you're saying "elite private universities have a more geographically diverse student body than state universities that are designed principally to educate qualified students from their state."    Yeah, that's not really contested.  The relevant comparison to SUNY in this case would be Urbana-Champaign and UIUC

No---because someone was claiming it was diverse and I was pointing out two private schools that are much more diverse.  And at the cost OOS for a SUNY, most kids can find a private school (probably not NW or UC tiered) that would cost the same or less and be much more diverse.

Obviously all state schools are typically 65-70%+ In state students.   But unless I live in NY, I can attend a much more diverse school for the same (or less) cost by attending a private school.   But someone attempting to argue that SUNYs are diverse is not going to win that battle. Just like no state schools are that diverse.

I’m not going to argue with you about the diversity, but unless you’re eligible for financial aid, you’re not going to get a private for a lower cost.
SUNY is a great deal for instate but also has some price cuts for OOS students, dependent on SUNY campus and your state of residence.
