[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Yorkers don’t even go to them, why would someone from out of state? [/quote]
Nonsensical comment. The New Yorkers who look down on SUNYs have significant resources and need expensive private college/university for social validation. Or they don't have significant resources but are willing to become indebted for the perceived social validation and perceived superiority of non-SUNYs.[/quote]

This isn't fair at all. I grew up in NYS and I didn't go to a SUNY. I went to an Ivy out of state. I went to the Ivy for the education not the social validation. The SUNY system is very solid and well serves many, many NY residents. I had relatives and many HS classmates who went to SUNY schools. But SUNY is not for everyone and that's perfectly ok, no need to denigrate those who choose to go elsewhere. It just isn't going to compete with the tip top national universities or SLACs, which is, again, perfectly fine.

FWIW, I have a very good idea of the type of education the SUNY schools provide vs my education. I'm confident I made the right choice for me. [/quote]
