<p>@TaciturnType: A guy from Uconn-storrs posting for at the Stony Brook forum. I’m curious at how you ended up here in the first place?</p>
<p>I think people misunderstood QCStudent’s opinion. I got what he was trying to say. he said Ivy League schools should be nervous because Stony Brook is offering a great education at a more competitive price (in Computer Science). I don’t think he said the program is necessarily better. But is definitely more bang-for-your buck. WWhether this is true or not is up to opinion. but i dont think he is coming off as arrogant, he may well simply be pointing out the value/cost of degrees from ivys and SBU (or maybe i’m just biased since a compsci grad from SBU)</p>
<p>TaciturnType, It does not cost 32k to attend Stony Brook from out-of-state. Thats sounds more like what my girlfriend pays to attend UConn-Storrs as an out-of-state (actually its about 38k). There is not a single SUNY that is that expensive for out-of-state residents. SUNY is relatively cheap and for some out-of-state students the price is competitive with their in-state tuition at their state school. Currently the total cost of attendance for a dorming student is $29,114 much lower than the national average for out-of-state students at public universities but tuition+fees is only $18000 if you choose to live of-campus (but rising 8% yearly for the next five years).</p>
