[quote=Anonymous]My son applied to SUNY Binghamton and SUNY Stony Brook for physics, and both gave him really generous discounts so net cost would have been about UMD levels (we are in MD). Stony Brook seemed to be very much a commuter campus -- we talked to a couple of recent grads and they said it was pretty dead on weekends. Binghamton was just depressing. For the comparison to what DS had as in-state options, it didn't seem worth it. Don't get me wrong, I think highly of the SUNY system in that NYS has done a much better job of really committing to its in-state students that there will be an affordable, quality education available at a number of campuses, in a number of fields, and at a range of achievements in HS. The other OOS flagships DS was considering were Wisconsin-Madison and UIUC. A lot more money than the SUNYs would have been but we were willing to consider it. But UMD vs. SUNYs didn't make sense for what he wanted as an overall package.[/quote]
