[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd suggest looking into University of Buffalo if your DC is interested in a SUNY. Buffalo has a lot more going on than Binghamton and the academics are on par with those of Binghamton. Binghamton's campus is just... so depressing. Truly one of the ugliest schools I've ever seen. I grew up in the Southern Tier... you don't get the lake effect snow, but it is a rarity to see the sun from November - March.

And just a note on [b]Geneseo: it is considered the "Harvard of the SUNY system" and very difficult to get into,[/b] but by and large it is a teachers college. If your DC wants to be something other than a teacher, I'd look elsewhere. The people who I know that went to Geneseo had bright high school careers and then fizzled out in college. Post college they have struggled and ended up in crappy jobs (not careers). Friends who went there to become teachers/ school administrators have done very well, though.  [/quote]

WTH?? You absolutely just made that up. [/quote]\

I'm the PP who wrote it, and I absolutely did NOT make it up. If you do a a simple google search you'll find plenty of websites that use the same phrase. More to the point: I disagree with the reference. In the late nineties/ early aughts it was difficult to get into[b] relative to other SUNYs[/b] (particularly if you were a female. there were more female applicants. again, teachers college like many of the SUNY colleges. SUNY university centers are different.). People on this board are so literal minded, it blows me away.[/quote]

Just because you found it on the google doesn't make it true. If fact is literalness, then ok, fine.[/quote]
