I mean yes, if you are too good to send your kid to a SUNY and insist on Northeastern. [/quote]

I'd much rather go to school in the UK than SUNY.  sorry![/quote]

I think there are pluses and minuses.

Students at the SUNY schools probably have much better access to dorms and off-campus student apartments.

The career services office at the SUNY schools might be better.

Getting professors to write recommendations might be a lot easier.

The non-U.S./non-Canadian schools might offer:

- More diverse student bodies.

- A much more international outlook.

- A less selective application process than the flagships — in exchange for the students facing brutal weedout classes in the first year.

- Easier access to fun places to visit.

- A different but fun student culture.

- (In some situations) much cheaper tuition. [/quote]

I'm pretty sure it's much simpler than this...they would rather go to college in London than Binghamton or Buffalo or other SUNY locations.[/quote]
