They used to use the terminology of 4 University Centers - Buffalo, Binghamton, Albany, Stony Brook. They have had funding priority this century, and all moved up to D1 sports. All have good USNWR rankings, but that has not helped them draw OOS students. Neither did being the #1 North Regional school help TCNJ draw OOS. Non-flagships are frequently overlooked.
Although if you go to the Binghamton page here, there are very active OOS groups hoping to get their kids into Binghamton for nursing, business, and engineering. The people who know, know.
