I wanted to add that my other D was at a SUNY. It was not my original top choice school for her, but after visiting 4 times (!) we knew she belonged there due to the sports programs and major. She had a great 4 years and to this day her grad school advisor still tells her how well prepared she was coming into grad school. I recommend the Frank Bruni book - Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be. My younger D read it during her senior year of HS.
