So I am lucky to be accepted to both these schools. I'm trying to decide between the two and I have the pros and cons kind of fleshed out:
SUNY Upstate: pros- active area with lots to do, only 2.5 hrs from home, really friendly low pressure environment. cons-not as good rep as Stony, being threatened with probation
SUNY Stony Brook: pros- stellar reputation, lots of research opportunity, nice student body. cons- middle of nowhere, 4.5 hrs from home, definitely need car.
If you guys have more to add, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
