<p>You seem to me to have a agenda when it comes to the Suny’s. I’m a resident of NYC and know full well about Cuomo’s budget cuts and that the Suny’s will take a hit. I know also that a tuition hike is inevitable. My son will be going to Cortland MT this year and is very happy with his choice. We went to orientation last month, and I asked the head of the MT department about funding, he assured me they would not be losing any. As a matter of fact starting in 2012 their facilities will be getting a major face lift, that would include a complete renovation of the main theater, and studios. I’m sorry I hijacked the thread, but I feel that the Sunys offer fine programs, and for NY residents a great value for the money.</p>
