[quote=Anonymous]As someone from upstate NY, I love/ am proud of the SUNY system in a way that’s analogous to how British people feel about the NHS. It’s not fancy, but it does a great job of educating a huge and diverse number of NYers at a very affordable cost.

I think you don’t hear about it as much out in the world bc people aren’t, like, spending their Sundays loudly supporting their college team. But I work in big tech and there are loads of NYers with SUNY educations. And, as many have look noted, Cornell historically served as a state-funded option for high-achieving academic superstars. Three out of seven undergraduate colleges at Cornell charge in-state tuitions and are able to offer scholarships, unlike the rest of the Ivy League. At my no-name public high school in the early 2000’s, 15 kids from my grade went to Cornell (and they offered me a merit scholarship for full tuition).

They are investing in UBuffalo and Stonybrook. I’d also encourage you to read about the investments in the Nanotech college at Albany.

Agree that the brutalist architecture was a very unfortunate choice!! Allegedly Albany got a deal on the plans, which had been drawn up for and then rejected by one of the Florida universities (maybe Miami?). Not sure if this is true but it would make sense![/quote]
