<p>Binghamton and Geneseo are harder to get into than New Paltz. Bing is the supposedly the “ivy” of the SUNY’s and Geneseo is considered the honors college. However, even though my son had the stats to get in, he didn’t consider either school mostly due to location. They are both pretty far from NYC and very rural. He wanted a more lively surrounding area and proximity to NYC. He loves the down to earth and creative student body at NP.</p>
