<p>Yeah it is a good idea to look at more options. I wanted a big university with a lot of diversity at an affordable price so I just applied to all SUNYs. With some private schools, there is a chance that they could give so much financial aid that it equals out to the price of a SUNY or even lower.</p>
<p>If you do decide that you are interested in Stony Brook, I have a visit posted with pics from there too.
I am fairly new to the process with applying to SUNYs as I just did it last fall (Stony Brook, Albany, Oneonta, New Paltz). If yo uhave any questions I could try to help. I am heading off to SB this fall.</p>
