<p>Ventura, it has to be with amazing faculty members, that literally trains our student. I’ll give you an example, Binghamton’s Computer Science club pulls all-nighters, and they try very hard to do well at the annual Computer Science competition[ACM], where the Ivy-leagues and 60 others meet, Stony Brook, thanks to it’s Science influence and far more, and world-renowned Professors[Think Steven Skiena, an Algorithms god], usually either kicks Princeton, Columbia, Yale butt, or we come in 2nd in the competition, Bing is usually somewhere in the bottom. We have more resources, more faculty, and more funding. There is just no comparison, the same way your business school is on a whole different tier, our Science are just only a whole different tier, most of your Science are in top 150ish, while we have some programs that are top 4 in the nation[Think Nuclear Physics]. From our hospital, dental school, medical school, the list just doesn’t end . . . . Besides, this isn’t our first time kicking Ivy-league butt, we’ve done it in the past by winning:</p>
<p>A)The International Student Cluster competition
B)Consistently ranking as top 3 in the ACM competition[most prestigious CS competition], and winning it, along with participating in the global finals.
C)Winning Robotics competitions consistently.
D)Now we have the Putnam under our belt.</p>
<p>Last but not least, we are admitting the best batch of students we’ve ever had admitted[in terms of grades], so only better things can be expected.</p>
<p>This is sort of common sense my friend, when you have a top 20 Math Program, national, a world-renowned Physics program, an amazing Applied Math program, Computer Science, and a list of other ‘Sciences’ such results are no longer ‘astonishing’. Had we written an amazing novel, your statement might held weight, like “Wait, SBU, great Business school? Let me see you do it again”. However, Science is something we’ve been doing for a while. </p>
<p>Aside from our Science rankings dwarfing Binghamton, and our alumni outcomes unparalleled vis-a-vis Binghamton, we have nobel prize Professors teaching here, think about it more rationally. From Chemistry, to Biology, I mean, we have towers devoted to our specialty. To give you an example, we have 4 buildings devoted to Computer Science alone, that’s the size of your entire Engineering school, plus a couple of other department. With size comes faculty, with size comes resources, with size comes massive funding and bright students. I mean, this isn’t something ‘new’, Google generally drives 50 miles away from Manhattan, just to visit our undergrad class to see what we are building, THIS TIME.

<p>With due respect, I don’t understand the inferiority complex of parents who children go to Bing, or students at Bing – Be proud of your school, you are great at Business, and Liberal Arts. Don’t act like you are a Science-oriented school, that job is left for Stony Brook, where with the help of our thousands of scientists at Brookhaven National Lab, and our on-campus resources, we are doing cutting-edge Scientific work. Our Nobel prize Professors are trying to look for scientific breakthroughs, while our peers at Bing might be working on the next great English book, or something Liberal Arts related.</p>
