I have always wondered about this too. They are a great value, even for out-of-state residents. Weather might be a factor, but plenty of people from the DMV choose SLACs and some out-of-state publics in cold climates. [/quote]

[quote]But those schools generally have better academic reputations ... I mean you could equally ask why more DMV students aren't going to Penn State's regional campuses. The answer is because they don't want to and have better options.  [/quote]

The ignorance of some DCUM commenters -- and their insistence on advertising it -- is breathtaking.

On US News' list of National Universities, SUNY/Stony Brook ranks #77 (tie); SUNY/Binghamton ranks #83; and SUNY/Buffalo ranks #89 (tie).

That's equal to, or higher ranked than, several nearby OOS schools that get exhaustive interest and discussion on DCUM -- Penn State (#77- tie), Delaware (#89) or Temple (#121)

Those SUNY flagships are also higher ranked than several out of area OOS schools that frequently surface on DCUM -- Colorado/Boulder (#97), Arizona State (#121 - tie), and UVM (#121 - tie).

They're signficantly higher ranked than the southern universities and flagships that some trolls keep trying to push here -- Auburn (#97), South Carolina (#115), and Alabama (#137).

The SUNY flagships have stronger reputations than a lot of the schools that get talked up here on DCUM.   That says a lot more about DCUM commenters, and their low information, and their priorities,  than it does about the SUNY system.

Thanks! Good to see a powerhouse state invest appropriately in higher ed. [/quote]
