[quote=Anonymous][quote]  And another negative is that as a consequence of those things, the student body is overwhelmingly NY state residents. That's true of most public schools of course, but there is a big difference between a place like Pitt, that is about 35% out of state, vs a place like SUNY Binghamton, where 95% of students are from NY. And that percentage is even lower at other SUNY schools. No geographic diversity at all.  [/quote]

No.   At Binghamton, 82% of the students are from NY state.   At Buffalo, 84% of the students are from NY state.   At Stony Brook, 79% of the students are from NY state.

If you make numbers up and present them as facts, it's the same as lying.

And of course, even the correct numbers are misleading, because NY is a large state of over 20 million people (larger than all of New England combined, or all the Rocky Mountain states combined, or all the Great Plains states combined) and is also notably more varied and diverse than many other states.   Only on DCUM is pulling in more UMC kids from more suburbs considered "diversity."
