Out of State Students

i also can’t help thinking that out of state applicants who are thinking of applying to a public school in NY are more likely to be attracted to Stony Brook which is a relatively easy commute (at least by train, the LIE is another story! ) into NYC (which many people outside of NYS equate with “New York”) than Geneseo which is quite rural and whose nearby “big city” is Rochester, about 45 minutes away. i am in no way putting down geneseo or the city of rochester. but it certainly is not the type of geographic area that i think is likely to draw out of staters to “NY”.

as others have noted, the diversity of students within NYS is enormous.
