[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some kids from this area go to SUNY-Binghamton.  And doesn't New Paltz have a good reputation for performing arts?

But overall the SUNY schools don't have very attractive campuses and are in cold locations in towns that aren't exactly thriving.  Who'd want to live there if many of the kids at those schools are going home on the weekends? You could have a similar experience at UMBC or George Mason and the weather would be better. [/quote]

1000% THIS^^^

The SUNY campuses are not attractive, they are in run down towns and in the middle of nowhere (many) and the weather is grey and dreary and cold.  They are great schools, but not at the level of a UVA/UMich/UWisc/GATech/Purdue/etc that attracts tons of OOS students.  They are just a level below.  They also do not have the SPorts/rah, rah attraction that most of the popular OOS state flagships have.  And the price is similar---who is paying OOS of $50K+ for that?  They are not.  They will go to any of those other popular OOS schools that are better overall and academically

SUNY New Paltz is in a cute town with gorgeous nature nearby, an easy trip to NYC and costs $33K out of state.[/quote]

We like to stay at Mohonk Mountain House, a resort nearby, and have passed through New Paltz many times. It looks so cute! I always see a ton of young people walking around at night.[/quote]

And rocking horse ranch!!! New Paltz town is amazing like Gilmore Girls in real life.

Plus an Amtrak stop near school and not a bad drive DC [/quote]
