My opinion for what it is worth ONLY.

They look and sound better on paper than they appear in person. My main objection was that every professor that we spoke with, complained numerous times during our visit about the lack of funding and how many of the projects that they were working with the students on could not be brought to fruition.

Before seeing SUNY he thought that would be a great school to attend because he would be close to his sister at USMMA. After seeing the school (facilities), talking with the professors, and seeing the attitude of student body and the way that they wore their uniforms he made a decision that it was not the right school for him.

My son and I looked at and considered SUNY, MASS MARITIME, TEXAS A&M Maritime and Great Lakes. He decided on Great Lakes and is very happy with his decision.

You might be happy with SUNY. Please simply understand that this was our experience and my opinion only.
