[quote=Anonymous][quote]My brother went to SUNY Albany as an out of stater. He is a really social guy and still felt really left out - pretty much everyone he met was from Long Island and into their high school clique. He did eventually make friends but his freshman year was hard and he had a very different experience than I did at a private school where everyone was from out of state.

I posted earlier in the thread and had the same experience. I was from a different part of NY and felt like an outsider. I transferred after a year. I’m glad your brother eventually found his people. It’s a tough place to be socially, even for people who are social.

I went to a SUNY from NYC, and didn't have many connections there going in.  I went to Stuyvesant, and most people from my high school class did not choose SUNY (some did, but mostly Binghamton, which I did not attend).  It worked out ok in the end in terms of meeting people, but that was because I had a heavy interest in an on-campus club, and connected with people there.  I don't think you could do it just through a casual interest.[/quote]
