You just don't like what people are saying. That's different than not being informed. Go wipe your butt, kid.

Yeah, yeah, look at my last post - and you're wrong anyway, cause it's Binghamton.

Ok. I mean, I disagree with her, but sure. I guess she gets to designate the flagships. As long as it's not Geneseo. Geneseo has turned into garbage.

To be fair, that’s a pretty new designation. But at the same time, it was never Binghamton.

Geneseo is not the flagship. It is a nicely designed canoe.
Ok, you are correct, I misspoke there - I meant to say something akin to the SUNY "honors college." It's basically in the toilet, as well. And dear god I laughed long and hard at "nicely designed canoe.."

I understand that this is about flagships, but Wisconsin does have some other good options
Stevens Point and Whitewater are undergoing budget deficits and will close. The vast majority of regional UW schools will go under in the next 20 years. Only Lacrosse and Milwaukee will win possibly be spared. In 2050, though, UW Madison and Marquette may be the only options for higher education in Wisconsin.
I hate to say it, but this is likely 100% spot on. Maybe Eau Claire makes it along with Milwaukee? But that's really it.

Not sure what the deal is with SUNY and why it has lost so much ground. 30 years ago, Binghamton was very well thought of.
In the weird bubble we were in (dance programs), the nj and ny publics are some of the most sought after programs in the country. Montclair in nj and suny-purchase are top dogs, with Rutgers and Buffalo not far behind.
Bing is still very good. Better than it was 30 years ago. It's just regional. So if you left NY, you dont hear about it as much.
But CUNYs and SUNYs take more Stuy kids than any other colleges - maybe than all others combined.
+ 1. Binghamton is very competitive to get into to these days.

This is true…plus MIT and all the SLACs.
BTW…Rutgers is 41 and Wisc 39…so, not even sure where the thread is coming from.
It’s a Wisconsin troll that appears from time to time. This thread is about boosting UWisconsin
I concur. It’s so obvious. Always mentions how few people live in Wisconsin and how great the school is in spite of the state’s population. The fact is that it’s not so great anymore compared to other top publics.

It's almost like different parts of the country developed at different times.
