<p>Chucktown, I agree that most people follow name-brand schools. No denial in that. The point I was trying to make is that you can receive an equivalent(if not better)education here for a fraction of the price. You can easily hook up with an MIT grad and do some ground-breaking research at the handful of research centers. I doubt a Princeton, or any of those mentioned schools have as many research opportunities as SBU for undergrads. I doubt, and challenge them. I know countless undergrads that are involved in Brookhaven, CEWIT, and many other research centers of the CS department. I mean, Princeton, Columbia or Cornell simply does not have the resources that SBU has for certain majors.</p>
<p>I agree that overall, SBU isn’t even on the same tier as those schools.</p>
